See story of This winter, the Sonata. (1st part)w_4_snow.gifh_heart04.gif

This is the different version (2nd part) of our winter in Niseko this year w_4_snow.gifh_note.gif

This was a journey, an adventure of me with my Little-big-boss traveling without hubby without daddy face3_kao07.gif
(Yappi was busy with his work..face3_kao15.gif)

Yappi dropped us at the airport and went to work straight away face3_kao15.gif

Once we were in Niseko,
we planned to have loads of snow-time w_4_snow.gifh_kira02.gifh_kira02.gifh_kira02.gifw_4_snow.gif
But unfortunately, poor Little-big-boss got a stomach flu on the very first night we arrived in Niseko face3_kao10.gifh_sweat02.gif

Had been vomiting whatever he consumed, even water..face3_kao13.gif

Porridge for breakfastHe himself was quite okay except the vomiting part face3_kao19.gif
He wanted to eat and drink, but his stomach was not allowing him to..face3_kao21.gif

I limited his food/water consuming..
At night he kept waking up asking for water..

I can only give him a sip or two at once..

He kept nagging,
“I wanna drink water, I wanna drink water”

And it was heartbreaking where I can’t give him more face3_kao21.gifh_heart07.gif

In the morning, he had some porridge f_x_coffe.gif
He ate them very eagerly, he looked just fine h_shine.gif
I thought he was fine too until he vomited again face3_kao21.gif

Shot with Little-big-boss in the snowWe still went to a nearby ski mountain, Asahigaoka Ski Park in Kutchan to have a leisure snow playing timew_4_snow.gif
Little-big-boss didn’t seem to have much energy for the snow that day..face3_kao10.gif

It was great that Little-big-boss was getting better before the last day of the trip face3_kao06.gifh_notes.gif
