Sickie

I'm home with a sickie today. Poor Steele. He's never really been sick - that he can remember - so the puking has got him a little freaked out. I've been half laughing, half crying each time it starts. First he asked me if I could stop it and then he was shouting,

Oh no! Oh no! It's gonna be awot of fwo up!

I just kept thinking in my head, "She's gonna blow!"

I've got him quarantined to the basement and I'm running back and forth between he and Adia - trying my best to keep the rest of us from getting it. If nothing else, I'll get my exercise today! Ah well, it's all in the parenthood deal. Things could be a lot worse than a quiet day at home watching movies.

Stay tuned - you'll probably get a few more posts from me today. ;-)


Only one problem: Steele somehow managed to get his drumstick through the new puke bowl I bought a few weeks ago with peculiar foresight. Good thing I realized that before he needed to use it again.....

Aw...poor little guy. He's sure cute for a sickie. :) I'm glad you'll have time for posting!

big hugs to you. I'm so sorry. I've been there many times and it's never fun to watch them vomit, they are just so helpless.

hopefully the rest of you don't get it.

Ooohhh.....poor Steelio!

You're such a good Mommy.

When Gracie was about 2, she had the sickies. She was explaining to us what happened to her: Her little hand was cupped under her mouth and she told us, "I spilled. Out of my mouf!"
