So, you had a bad day….
While we usually hang out for a while, with the B-man not feeling just right, the boys and I head home so that I can give the B-man a dose of his medicine. He takes Miralax with some juice each day to help him with his “issue.” Usually the medicine kicks in within in less than an hour and we are on our way. Well thirty minutes later he still had not gone, but he was feeling and acting visibly better.
With the day now escaping I decided that it would be best to pick up food so we run to the golden arches for dinner. As I am standing at the counter, holding the B-man, I look down to get my money out of my purse and I see his face go pale. Within seconds my mommy reflexes move into high gear and I am catching pink vomit as it erupts from his tiny little mouth. (I know… TMI)
Fortunately, and much the the cashiers delight, it is just a small amount of vomit and I am able to catch it in my hands. She, looking like she just escaped death, just stands there mezmorized. I snap her out of her state of awe, and she gets me a few napkins.
We ended up bringing the food home, but the B-man had no appetite. He just laid on the sofa with his snuggle pillow and my blanket. He even asked to go to bed…. he’s two. That just does not happen.
I can tell that he is coming down with something and it kills me. I can’t stand to see the boys when they are sick. It’s like you just want to be sick in their place.

Hi there. Saw you were following me on Twitter and had to click over and see who you were.
Saw this post and I have to say….constipation can cause vomiting. How do I know? Well, let’s just say my ds has exhibited this sign more often than I care to remember. If we’re not good about giving him his metamucil or making sure he has enough fiber, he will puke (with no other “illness” symptoms)
Gonna have to subscribed now.

Sorry, that does not sound fun.
I know what you mean about wishing the kids were not sick and you could be instead.

Hope it’s just a 24 hr thing. A kid asking to go to bed early is a very scary thing. Hope no one else gets it, too.

Aw! Poor guy! I hope he’s feeling better soon.
I’m guessing that cashier doesn’t have kids!

Oh poor thing!
when Sam was about 15 months old he got Rota virus. I didn’t know it at the time…
We were at BurgerKing and he vomited all over the whole place. Him, me, the floor, the table, the highchair…
I felt so bad. I went up to tell the workers (and I was covered in vomit) and offered to clean it up.
The look on their faces was priceless. I think they were going to take me up on my offer but the manager stepped in just in time!
Being a mom is great!

Good times!
Got to love the public throw ups.
Jude threw up at the reds game (as soon as we got there) last year, all over the floor in front of him.
We are bad parents.. we cleaned it up and stayed
Jude said he felt fine..
