Sick boys

Nathan has an issue with going to be and falling asleep so we usually try to get him to fall asleep on the couch or on the floor next to us. After he is sleeping, we (sometimes) carry him to bed. We cannot make him go to bed as he shares a room with Darren and at least this way one of the boys is sleeping.

Last night we both must have fell asleep before we could put Nathan to bed. Around 1:00 am Bruce yells, "Lisa wake up." It turns out that Nathan was throwing up. Since he had already thrown up mostly all over his blanket, we just arranged the blanket so that he could keep throwing up on it. We get him cleaned up and remove the blanket. As we were all settling back to sleep, we hear a very pathetic sounding, "Mommy" from Darren's room. We choose to ignore it figuring all the commotion woke him up and he would fall right back to sleep.

After ten or fifteen minutes of him being pathetic and crying, we decided to get up. Bruce volunteered to get up with Darren, so I crawled back under the covers. I then hear Bruce yelling for me to come here. It turns out that Darren threw up also, and it was all over Darren and the crib. Bruce changed his pajama's and I cleaned up the crib. Darren fell right back to sleep with no problem.

Bruce and I are then laying in bed, and Bruce just keeps coughing. He has had this cough for ten days or so, and it is driving me crazy!

This morning I got myself ready for work, and asked Nathan how he felt. (He was up about 6:15) He said his belly still hurt a little, so I asked him if he wanted to go to daycare. He said that he did and I seriously debated sending him to daycare as Marylou is fairly relaxed about certain things. Instead I called my Mom and asked if she could watch the boys for a while. She said that she could, so when I was driving the boys to Mom's I was telling Nathan that since he was to sick to go to daycare, he is to sick to go outside. He then excitedly told me that he was feeling better. What a little sh**head!
