She'll Do Anything For Him

Yesterday:

8:20AM I put Riley on the bus. She had a great morning. No fussing. She left for school happy, adorable.

9:15AM The school calls. They say she's sick. (I know she's not sick, but I go get her).

9:20AM I pick her up. She is sooooo not sick. She skips out to the car.

9:30AM We make her lay down in bed for a couple of hours, because she's sooooo sick.

12:00 Seth home from preschool. They play all afternoon. Typical day.

2:00PM Hot Toddy off to work the evening shift.

4-8PM No trouble with homework, dinner, violin, bath, vision therapy, bed.

Overall, great day.

9:30PM Checking in on them. Seth's head is at the foot of his bed. He's covered head to toe in vomit. He slept through the whole thing. He sleeps through me changing his clothes, his bedding.

10:00PM As I toss Seth's blankets into washing machine I have a thought.

Perhaps it was Seth's tummy Riley was feeling this morning?

Anything's possible with your remarkable little girl.

Love and kisses to Seth. And Riley, too.

She's so sweet.
Oh so sorry for you -there is NOTHING worse than cleaning up vomit. Yuck. Hope the little man is feeling better.

No doubt, with her sensitivities. There is science on this stuff.I think this is the address of a fascinating article on the phenomena of chimera

if thats not it try katewirk ( i cant read my handwriting).
Hope Seth has recovered and you and Riley have too.

Uggh. I hate that part, too, cleaning up vomit.

Riley was experiencing Seth's tummyache. What is that-like sympathy pains?

I know the feeling when your kid says he/she doesn't feel well and they are active and running around. You know they are not that "sick." I make my kids lay down when they are sick, too. Gotta be very boring so school looks better or being able to do the fun things at home.

I hope he's better soon.
