Oh, y'all. The magical fantastical grandparent weekend party has had to be postponed indefinitely. My precious and sweet firstborn is now stricken with a terrible stomach virus. Boo hoo.
When I went into school, he and his teacher were coming down the hall toward Pretty Girl's playground to see if I had arrived yet. His face was red and puffy, yet pale and ashen at the same time. She told me JBB sat down on a picnic bench, started crying and saying, "I want my Mommy" and then right away he got sick. Three times. Oh, how this breaks my heart, but thank you Sweet Teacher for taking such wonderful care of him.
We have experienced emesis all night long, and he is finally asleep underneath a Spiderman blanket. This is on the menu for tomorrow
and the matinee feature is Bee Movie (thank you DVR). The hard part is that I will have to hug and kiss and hug JBB some more, and then I will have to leave him in the (actually very capable) hands of Mr. Lipstick. Of course, I will call about a million times from work to check on him and hear his sweet voice, all the while anxiously awaiting that wondrous moment that this mean ole virus relinquishes its stronghold, and JBB wants to run through the house like a man on fire.
Here he is on a field trip (to a pumpkin patch, where else) earlier this week.

I have something for you on my blog...
OH NO!! I am so sorry, I hope he gets better very soon! Poor little man!
Oh, I feel for you. I hate the icks. Although there is not up-chucking, my little one has been sick since Wednesday night. This sort of thing is very hard on the mommies.
OH yikes, poor guy!
Oh puking is the worst. And its awful when you can't do anything to really make it better for the little people. I hope he feels better soon so he can enjoy halloween!
Oh, we hope JBB is better soon - he sounds so sad! It seems to be the season for 'the crud' as we have referred to it at times.
We are sending good thoughts.
:-)
No matter how old we get, we ALWAYS want Mommy when we're sick. I remember being 24, sitting in bed with the flu, and on the phone with my mom every hour because I felt so damn awful.
Oh, how yucky! We can relate, though, because our children away at Grands weekend was cut short when in the wee hours of Sunday morning we get the call to retrieve children due to the continual up chucking of youngest DS! Better luck next time!!!!
