Also, plans for birthday party equals sick kid. Sorry to disappoint the grandparents but we're not driving 90 minutes with a kid who has just thrown up and who has had diarrhoea all day. And no, it's not a good idea for you to make the 90 minute drive over and for us to go off to that party. You only would have got vomited on - and we would have worried the whole time. So we stayed home and changed clothes and sheets a couple of times. He slept most of today.
