Sick Days


This has been quite the week.  My little Knight woke up with the tummy flu last week Wednesday and since then it has traveled from him to Princess back to him and then to the Duke on Tuesday night. 

Dealing with a vomiting 1 year old is not an easy task, but like all things in parenthood, you roll with the punches.

Not old enough to tell me when you need the bucket?  OK, then I will sit you on my lap surrounded by lots and lots of towels with my hand on your belly so I can feel when when it tightens up.

Don't know that you should face down with you throw up?  OK then I will place a towel under your chin when the time comes and tilt you so gravity helps get that icky stuff out of your mouth.

Getting scared because you don't know what is happening?  Then I will hold you close to me and tell you that you are going to be OK.

Barfy smell and all!

This too shall pass!
