A special little visitor

Yesterday, Aidan and I ran up to meet the bus like we always do when Ethan is on his way home. On our walk home, this beautiful orange butterfly followed us, all the way home! When we got to the front door, it kind of flew around in the flowers and then seemed to fly off. About an hour later Aidan found him on the front porch again! He stayed there for another hour or two! Aidan looked so sweet sitting there making friends with the butterfly!

And then he suddenly disappeared. I knew this had happened because Aidan came screaming into the room with a horrified look on his face, and then continued to howl for about 30 minutes. So sad!

This was also the moment that Aidan announced that his tummy hurt. A condition that got worse and worse, kept us up all night, and the poor kid too. He was squirming with "tummy hurting!" all night long, and spent the whole night wandering between his bed, the couch, the guest bed, our bed. He'd have a tummy cramp, get up and wander, fall asleep somewhere new, have another cramp, wander to a new room . . . on and on. It was so sad! Poor boy, I hope you feel better today Aidan!
