He is always so full of enthusiasm and excitement...he is normally not this way. If only I knew how to upload an actual video of him playing...hmmm...maybe next time.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1912391435610850314-3264366886219541366?l=thejohnsonjournal1993.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10918022121652136428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912391435610850314.post-37285711114079464522009-03-02T13:03:00.003-06:002009-03-02T13:12:17.627-06:00<div>Last night Andrew woke up with the stomach flu. The one illness that we dread to see surface at any time of the year. His little body spent the night hugging the toilet bowl. At least he can make it to the toilet bowl...(the one in our family who cannot make it to the toilet bowl will remain nameless but just turned 18!!)<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308670178956938482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F4yqT6nLn5o/SawvZrZwDPI/AAAAAAAAAAk/6pwEW5kKY0o/s320/DSC00354.JPG" border="0" />Today he has lounged around the house watching movies, taking bubble baths and playing XBox...what a life...but would have to pause said time passers to run to the bathroom. He's such a trooper and never complained; not once!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1912391435610850314-3728571111407946452?l=thejohnsonjournal1993.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10918022121652136428noreply@blogger.com1
