Which means that sick mommy is quarantined with sick toddler in the big bedroom and that Mina is keeping daddy busy. All night. She is fun to watch when she isn’t crying, but I guess that goes for all babies.
Mina got a lucky bracelet from the temple for New Years.

Max has a stomach bug or something
He threw up everything four times today. I thought he had gotten a bit better after he came with me to our faculty’s new year dinner and he chowed on steamed fish, but he threw it all up again after we came home. Oops. Had to strip sheets off of two king size beds and start drying mattresses with fans.
We keep making him rehydrate, but dehydration is a fear since he throws up so much; we’ll take him to the clinic tomorrow.
Mina is being no more or less cooperative than can be expected of a soft, pink, newborn potato lump. -

The preview of the sequel to the best movie review, ever
I wish this news had come out before George Lucas was on the Daily Show last week because it might made his weak argument that the target audiences of the first three and last three movies are different, so it’s OK that the last three he made sucked a little easier to swallow. Let’s put this in perspective: The sequel to the review ripping the shit out of the movie is going to be more hotly anticipated by the original fans than the sequel itself was (the fans had seen the first one by then and knew it was all a sad downhill slide after the appearance of, say, Ewoks).
BTW, the creator was interviewed by heeb magazine a couple weeks ago. -

Yesterday I got food poisoning for the first time in a couple years; it was probably a bad spot of ground pork or chicken I had for breakfast. I started feeling queasy in the late morning and had Nam pick me up after she picked up Max from a half-day at nursery school (we’re sharing the Cefiro until Nam stats working again in a couple weeks because the insurance ran out on my Crown and I figured I could hold off on re-insuring until we really need two cars again – this whole week she’s been dropping me off at school, dropping Max off at preschool, and I’ve been walking home). Luckily, Nam and Max didn’t get sick.
Some other crazy things happened yesterday in my fever state; I’ll get around to describing them later. In the meantime, I’m not nauseous today, but I can’t stray far from the bathroom. -

So it begins…
Max went to nursery school for the first time today. Mommy doesn’t start work for a couple more weeks, so she’s going to take him every day this week just for a couple hours in the mornings. He starts going every day from next week… This is such a trip. Time flies by so quickly. It sounds like he had a great hour or so with the other kids today singing, clapping, and even falling off a slide and bumping his head. Mommy kept out of sight until it looked like he wanted to go home. When he saw her, he cried. That was enough for the first day.
Meanwhile, Mina is growing so fast its kind of scary – she can partially lift her head up off the bed from a face down position! It took Max months to do that! She is one month old tomorrow.

Max’s nursery school is called Anuban Ruk Rak. We chose it mainly because we know the people running it (the mother of an English teacher at Nam’s uni). The secondary reasons were that there are ample outdoor areas, they let the kids play with and in the dirt, and it’s kind of old so it’s not filled with snotty yuppie tadpoles. Moreover, the owner tells parents up front that she believes a light swat on the hand or (diapered) bottom is sometimes the only way to dissuade them from doing dangerous stuff. Wow! Common sense being embraced at a school? I feel like Max is growing up in the fifties (did they have nursery schools in the fifties?)!
