Evan is a toy stealer. When he tried to steal a toy firetruck out of his friend's hands yesterday, his friend hit him with it to defend himself. He got a nice-sized knot on his forehead, and was acting fine, so we chalked it up to a good lesson learned about being a toy bully. At 12:30 this morning, Evan woke up puking. After he woke up again to puke at 2:00, we went to the ER up the road. As it turns out, Evan has a concussion. :-( He was released and told to take it easy, so the Evan and I stayed home and watched "Dora, the Explorer," "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," and "Thomas the Train Engine" all day and slept on and off. The concussion wasn't enough, so he now has a fevery flu on top of it (fevers and concussions don't usually go together). He's received round 1 of the H1N1 as well as his regular seasonal flu shot, so we're hoping we just skim the top of this one. Here is a picture of the knot on his head. Maybe his toy stealing days are coming to an end....
