Every Saturday Jason meets his family for breakfast. He alternates weeks between his mom's side and his dad's side. He always takes Amelia with him and most of the time he takes Henry too. I get to have a couple of hours to myself each Saturday morning, which is WONDERFUL.
At these breakfast meetings Amelia is often showered with small gifts and trinkets by various aunts and cousins. A few weeks ago at breakfast she got a little Hello Kitty notepad and a set of sparkle pens.
Unfortunately, this same week Amelia's stomach began hurting very badly while she was waiting for other family members to arrive at breakfast. She told Jason's mom and she took Amelia into the bathroom. Amelia threw up.
Shortly thereafter, Jason piled both kids in the car and came home. On the way, Amelia used her new notepad to illustrate some of the events at breakfast.
This is Amelia and Grandma in the bathroom. Notice the line from Amelia's mouth to the toilet. This is one of the few pictures Amelia has ever drawn of herself where she wasn't smiling. All of the hands have 5 fingers, do you see them?
In this picture, Amelia and Grandma (both smiling now) are telling Jason (who is sitting at the table) that Amelia threw up in the bathroom and it's time to leave. Notice Jason's cup of coffee has steam floating up in the air.
Amelia, Jason, and Henry all driving home post throw-up incident. We still aren't sure what happened because she was completely fine for the rest of the day!
It made for a beautiful illustrated story, though. Did it not?
