6.19: Sick day
Owen woke up screaming last night. I had already sent Rex up before the real shrieks started, so I didn't know what was going on until Rex called for me.
Owen is the tidiest of all my pukers.
Rex stayed with him overnight, and apparently he puked every hour, on the :45 until I got him this morning. I knew they had been up a bunch of times, I just didn't know how consistent he was.
He slowed down a bit over the rest of the morning, finally ending his run by puking up the two spoonfuls of applesauce that were all he had eaten for the day. From the time he rinsed his mouth out from that last run, he's been bouncing off the walls. Complaining that I wouldn't let him go outside and ride his bike. Bored with his favorite tv shows and unwilling to watch another movie. There aren't very many perks to sick children, and I didn't get so much as a cozy snuggle.
The upside is that he finished the applesauce, and later ate yogurt and crackers, none of which I've had to see again. If we're lucky, we've seen the end this.
