12th love

I love when my kids are healthy and happy.

We have had a hard night. I took Wyatt and the kids to Family Math night at the school. Lincoln had to work late. I quickly showered at 6:15. We had painters here all day, and I never had time to before. I fed my kids some yummy homemade soup while I dried my hair, and then we ran out the door. I got home and got them all into bed, and then I heard Simone cry. I went to pick her up and noticed her head was soaking wet. I turned on the light and discovered the worst thing ever. Do I even need to say it? Throw up. She has thrown up ELEVEN times since then. ELEVEN! After a bath, many pajama changes (myself and Simone), dirty sheets and towels, tummy rubs, and rocking the sun came up. A sick baby is the saddest thing. I do love that I can rub her feet and she stops crying, if I set one foot down she lifts the other in the air as a little hint to keep going.

I'm so sorry. I think sick babies are the saddest thing ever and the throw up thing is so hard when they are so little. I hope she is better soon and that you get some rest.

Happy Birthday! Lincoln was so clever and cute about the baskin robbins!

So sorry to hear about little Simone. Let me know if I can help in ANY way. A sick baby the day you put your house on the market-yuk! I hope she is doing better soon!

Hearing that Simone lifts her foot up to keep the rubs coming is just the cutest thing ever.

Was I seriously this behind?? I guess so. I think that picture is beautiful. And yes, please healthy kids! Jeffy is upstairs coughing right now, and I just hate it.
