Week two of school... the first week went off without a hitch. All the boys seem to be adjusting to the new year... with the exception of the waking up part!
Josh did the first day of SK and then came home to throw up. He has been sick since then. He seems to be fine during the day and then wee hours of the morning he throws up... all his food has been sitting there undigested. My poor sweet baby. We went to the doctor's but it is just a bug that has to run it's couse, it seems. This weekend he added diarrhea to his symptoms.
We were out of town this weekend, off to Simcoe, where Sanj grew up. His best friend's family still is there. His friend was in town and so we went for a visit. Josh seemed better... that was the key... seemed! On the way home, we stopped at Toys R Us to buy a birthday present for a kid. The boys came in with me to get a treat. Sanj was running over to the store across the road. (This should have been my warning....)
We are looking at the Spiderman toys and the Star Wars toys. You know, the isle that is boy heaven? I look at Josh and he is standing still, a look of pure distress on his face. "I didn't feel it," he says. He had diarrhea that just ran through him, down his pants onto this shoes and the floor. Is this for real? The other boys are making noises... and I am standing still, in shock.
I tell Sammy to go get me paper towels... he comes back with a PIECE of paper towel. Josh is dripping with any movement. This is one of those moments that I feel as if the crew from Candid Camera will pop out and say, "Gotcha!"
I stole a pack of wipes (well I did pay for them later), went to the bathroom and did the best I could, the boys retrieved Josh's extra clothes and off we went to the check out... no harm except me in need of a bath since the soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty. Ugh.
Sanj looks at me, with one of those looks which can be interpreted as "I am so sorry... but not really as I am so glad that it was you and not me!"
I am waiting for this too pass. Yesterday, in the van Sanj and I yelled, "Nooooooooooo" in slow motion as Jordan and Zach were sharing a drink... the drink that happened to be Josh's.
Motherhood. Poop, vomit and all that lovely stuff in between. I could have done nursing after all! :)
