Initiation?
Well, it has finally happened. I have joined a group - albeit unintentionally. After 6 1/2 years of congratulating myself on having kids who are not vomiters by nature, I have experienced the unpleasantness of being awoken by a sick child. That is, I was awoken by the gurgled "Mommy!" call followed by being vomited on! A rude awakening indeed!
Really, this should have not come as a surprise. The child had consumed mega quantities of junk food at a bbq earlier in the evening. So, the "if you eat too much junk you will make yourself sick" threat was realized.
Both my kids have remarkable resilience. Neither one acts sick unless they have a temp over 104F. True to form, Princess Chatterbox serenaded me in the bathroom for 2 full hours after awakening. The theme of the concert? "I'm not going back to sleep!"
Finally settled down at 4am. Yesterday her stomach was still "angry". Guess it was the flu.

Hope everyone's healthy now! Was angry stomach her term? Kids are so funny. A friend of mine has a 2-yr old who whacked her head on a table the other day and explained, after she stopped crying, that she'd "crashed herself"!

OMG! It reminds me of my daughter, who ws never a "barfer" so much to the fact that it was until she reached her junior year in high school and she had the flu that started in the night. She didn't know the feeling. She didn't know what it was..needless to say, she barfed everywhere! Her room, the hall, the bathroom, even the toilet if I remember correctly. It was a very long night. Sigh....
