I am nursing and cleaning up after the third sick child, in as many weeks. Arwen, almost 4, went to bed last night with a low grade fever. 11 o'clock she vomited up most of the contents of her stomach onto her bed, mostly strawberries and cup cake icing. More information than my neighbors want? Trust me, it could've been so much worse. Of course, little children are horrified that this could happen. But we introduced her, again, to the vomit bucket.
At about 12:30, she used the bucket for the 1st time, in the night, in the dark! Bullseye. I'm very proud, and relieved. Now her next milestone will be getting her head over the toilet in time.
Sadly, she's the crankiest sick patient of the three of them. Her fever wasn't nearly as high as Seth's and she was griping from her bed today with grunts and hollers either because Seth was singing too loudly or shutting a cabinet door too loudly. I just told her to hush. Good thing she's so cute.
