Stomach flu

Sam woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago and threw up. I hate the sound of my kids throwing up in the middle of night because 1) I know they don't feel well and (more selfishly) 2) I know I'm going to be cleaning up a stinky mess for awhile.

I am actually relieved he threw up in his bed because we just had our carpets cleaned two days before this incident. So I got him out of bed, took his icky jammies off, gave him a quick rinse in the bath and as I was cleaning up the rest of the mess I turned around to find him zonked out in the hall. It was just so sad and cute that I had to get a picture.I'm not sure if Sam has a weaker system than the rest of us, but he gets the stomach flu a lot. In January he threw up 18 days in a row. I took him to his pediatrician a few times and even the ER, but he was fine, just throwing up. No one else in the house got sick this time around, I don't know what to think of it.

Sometimes kids just get bugs. Hope he's feeling better.

I'm so happy with how they look, you can see a stain by Sam's leg that didn't go away, but it looks 100 times better. That hallway was a disaster!!

Poor Sammy :( Hope he's doing lots better. I can't believe you've had the energy to organize and clean your house like that. Thinking about doing that to my house makes me tired! I hope the right person comes along soon!!!
