Monday morning Sage wasn't really herself. She didn't want to eat breakfast and she was VERY clingy. Don't get me wrong I love to cuddle with my girl but not have her hanging on my legs! We went and ran a few errands and she fell asleep while grocery shopping. She never falls asleep while at the store to many things to look at. I knew she definitely wasn't feeling well. I could tell she had a fever and gave her some Tylenol when we got to the car. She perked up a little bit on the ride home and asked for her water. As we pulled onto our street, she started throwing up, it wasn't pretty. Thank goodness Reese was home and he came and helped me. I got her out of her seat and she was covered and so was her seat. We undressed her in the garage and Reese took her in to clean her up and I tackled the car. Most of you know how weak a stomach I have so it wasn't a pleasant job - but I got it all cleaned up. The hard part was cleaning the car seat. The seat cover and pads went into the washer - but the seat itself - YUCK! Shelley suggested spraying it down with the hose and we did. Luckily while the seat is being decontaminated we have a spare seat that we can use. She still wasn't feeling good Tuesday morning so we took her to the doctor. When Sage got into the car she looked at me and said "New seat Momma," our observant girl. Late Tuesday morning the fever was gone - but she was still a clingy girl. Tuesday night she seemed fine and she was running all over the neighborhood playground.

This picture was from Tuesday morning - Sage got to watch a few extra shows in our room.
When I saw the title "new car scent" my mind went to the new car aroma that lasts about as long as it takes to get a vehicle off the dealer's lot. Clearly you had a different scent in mind! It is autumn and the little ones are busily sharing their germs with one another -- Himself refers to them as "self propelled germ units." She'll soon be back to her busy little self. And if you leave the car windows open long enough, it might come good too. :-)
