Kids are sick this week. Seth was up all night coughing.
He spent today vomiting.
Riley merely has a runny nose but she stayed home from school too. A drippy nose can rock her world as much as the flu rocks Seth's.
Despite her nose, she did help me today. Kept grabbing new towels every time he threw up.
She rubbed Seth's head.
She sang to the tune of Frère Jacques.
Did you throw up?
Did you throw up?
Brother Seth?
Brother Seth?
Sorry you don't feel good.
Sorry you don't feel good.
Brother Seth.
Brother Seth.
Okay, maybe that wasn't so helpful in the moment, but it's cute upon retrospect.
Both are fast asleep right now.
Tomorrow's another day.
May they be well.

Awww, barfing was never so cute.
Sending healthy thoughts...and hugs.
I hope Seth feels better soon. And Riley too.
Sisterly loves I am sure helps. I was terrified of throwing up when I was a kid!
Indeed, may the be well.
Hope they both feel better soon. I thought the song was pretty clever.
Just what the doctor ordered - fresh towels, music, and a sense of humor.
May they recover quickly and refrain from sharing the bug with you.
That is so cute. lol
Hope they feel better now.
:)
amen, sister.
Hope everyone is healthy and well soon.
that is really sweet in a sick way. I had it too, hope they are both better now.
that is a riot!!!
oops--had to come back to clarify. NOT the sickness but the song. sickness= bad. riley's song=wonderfully creative and funny.
sending our most gigantic healing vibes.
xx
carry on.
