Monkey's under the weather

Monkey's got the flu...apparently the 24 hour variety. He was sick last night around 10, then a few more times overnight. Daddy already had things prepared at work, so he took the day off, though Saje surely would have liked to spend the day snuggling him.
He had a pretty good day. He had some toast, then about an hour later a little more with some ginger ale. We worked our way through a whole banana and then later some rice. All-in-all it's been going well, considering.
We took some time after watching Toy Story to do some school work. Then we decided to take a storage container that daddy brought home from work and turn it into a rocket. Here's the progress that Monkey made:
he started with just the container
then added a cone on the top (a party hat that he went and got form the basement)
next came the little wings on the bottom
finally it was time for some windows to see out

Somehow it's important to him that Woody is part of this. I think that there's a Buzz lightyear link there, but I couldn't really get a straight answer.
He's pleased as punch with the results. It was a lot of fun to build.
