Thank Goodness for Dads

At one last night, I heard "Mommy" being called. This is quite unusual since she usually will come to our bed without saying anything (on the rare occassion she does wake up). When I got to her room, Delaney said "Mommy, I threw up." Throw up she did!!! It was everywhere. I cannot stand the sight or smell of throw-up, so luckily Derek took over. He cleaned her up and as he cleaned up the sheets, I sat with her while she was in the tub. We got her back to bed...about 20 minutes later we heard her throw up again. Again, Derek took care of the mess. He then set up a bed in the bathroom for her (a few towels for a pillow and mattress and some cozy, comfy blankets for covers) and she was set. About a half hour later, I heard Mommy...and she began to dry heave and say, "I don't like that sound". Poor girl. She finally fell asleep and stayed in her "bed" until about 7 this morning.

She's been pretty good today. She ate a little breakfast (banana) and then was hungry for lunch, which was toast and a yogurt (her all-time favorite food!). She then said her tummy hurt so we relaxed on the couch. She ate dinner about 6 (not too much...just two nuggets, some broccoli and some mac and cheese) and then said her tummy hurt again. She crawled up on my lap (I was sitting at the table grading math tests....yuck...I miss the easy science tests!) and within 2 minutes was sound asleep. Kids can be so sweet when they're sick! She is still sleeping on the couch...I need to go make her bed so she can sleep there tonight, instead of the bathroom!

Derek leaves for FL tomorrow for meetings, so hopefully the throwing up is done! Just in case, I am going to go make sub plans for tomorrow.
