Now I am officially ill. The doctor says I have viral gastroenteritis (isn't my spelling good for a 9 month old!). I haven't eaten properly since last Saturday really and I've been sick a lot.

Today I felt very poorly at nursery so I couldn't eat anything; even the smell made me be sick. I am so tired that I have slept most of the day and I just couldn't face joining in with any games so I just lay in my cot. At half past three my keyworker, Claire, tired to give me some food and I was just sick again. I have had nasty smelly runny nappies too so she rang Mummy at work. At first she said I could stay until Mummy had made a doctor's appointment but when Mummy rang back to tell Claire the time I heard her say, 'No, you have to come and get him now.' Mummy looked very worried when she arrived and she gave me a big cuddle. I think she was expecting me to look bad or something but I was just pleased to see her so I smiled and snuggled into her.

We went to the doctor who said I was dehydrated and gave Mummy a piece of paper to give to the lady at the Pharmacy. She said I might be lactose-intolerant like Mummy as well so I should only drink watered down milk until I am better. At the Pharmacy we got some little packets of powder and a big bottle of nasty sticky syrup. This one is cherry flavoured not strawberry so maybe I'll like it more. It will make good raspberries I think.

When we got home I was SO thirsty that I drank loads of one of the powders all mixed in with water. It tasted quite funny but it was that or nothing. I threw most of it back up afterwards but I was happy. I made the sick go a whole foot away from my chair and nearly got Issy the kitten!

Tomorrow Mummy is letting me have a day off from nursery and says I can stay at home and we can play games together. I am hoping we will play with my stacking cups and my new 'sound-experiences' peek-a-blocks.
