Recovering

The recovery from the trip to Grandma and Grandpa's resulted in Mom having to take a day off work yesterday to let Ollie and Tori take long naps and get back to their normal routine. Ollie was exhausted and slept from 12:30 to 3:45. His stomach settled down and no more vomiting or diarrhea occurred that night. He appeared to be fine and slept from 9:00 to 6:15 this morning.

Since returning, Ollie has played with all of his loot and has discovered that he owns a lot of dinosaurs and a lot of Buzz Lightyears in every shape and size imaginable. We lined them all up last night, along with Jesse, Bull's Eye and all of his Woody dolls. He spent part of the evening shooting arrows from Buzz Lightyear's ship at Tori's Barbie dolls.

As for the clothes he received, he has been picky thus far, turning down all shirts with zippers and all extra layers. The turtleneck made it past his inspection this morning, though he pulled at it several times. He also turned down Sponge Bob and some other character outfit. Maybe next week.

He had a good time at Grandma and Grandpa's but doesn't want to "go there again any time soon." So for all of you out there who would like to see Ollie again, he wants you to know that he won't be leaving home again for a long, long time. In fact, he wants to stay with us "forever!"
