I know I’ve been absent….

So, long-time-no-blog, huh? TEN DAYS? IT’S A RECORD! Let’s just say, a week of the stomach flu, a long weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and now, no daycare for a week have taken their toll on the family. ANYWHOO…..

Speaking of the stomach flu and puke…. The last time Wyatt threw up we had an interesting conversation about it that I feel the need to share.

WYATT: (shouting from his room around 1 am) MMOOOOMMMM!

ME: (opening his door) What’s wrong honey, do you have to go potty?

WYATT: I spit out again. All over my bed!

(“spit out” is what he calls throwing up – not sure how that got started)

ME: Oh no. Let’s get some new jammies on ok?

WYATT: Yeah – spit out is NO FUN. It got all over me too!

(I get him changed, sheets and blankets off his bed and get him tucked into his sleeping bag on his bed – no more clean sheets after a week of the flu)

WYATT: Mommy, you eat boogers and nails, you get sick and BLAH you spit out then!

ME: (stifling a laugh) Oh, did you eat boogers and nails before you went to bed?

WYATT: Yep. And I get sick now.

ME: Well, let that be a lesson to you then.

WYATT: Huh?

ME: Never mind, get some sleep kiddo. See you in the morning.

Poor Wyatt got the worst of the stomach bug out of all of us. Brooklyn’s lasted for like 4 hours, mine was about 24 hours, and Wyatt was still randomly throwing up (pizza, apple pieces and fruit snacks – YUM!) two days after his started. I’m hoping we are out of the thick of it now. One can only hope, right?
