It was our time...we have been so healthy this winter...literally nothing ailing us. In the past month it seems everyone around us has been dropping like flies...stomach flu, pneumonia, strep, and on and on.When I picked Isabella up from pre-school today and the first thing she said was, "My stomach hurts"...I knew we were done for:) Home we went and set up camp in mom's bed...even ate a little lunch there, but not much. She was clearly uncomfortable at times, but had ok moments, coloring, and watching cartoons. Than shortly after 4 as I was talking to my boss on the phone, she came up to me, as I picked her up, she threw up on me:) Poor thing!
Dad rushed her into the bathroom to finish and when she was done, bless her soul, the first thing she said was, "Can I still go to Halle's for dinner?". We were supposed to go to the Goehring's for dinner. Bry told her no, we wouldn't be able too and with great passion, Isabella said, "Yes we can, we can go there, I'm fine, it was just a little puke, now I'm fine, it's done"...poor thing.
No more puking the rest of the night, but she was definitely uncomfortable at times, lethargic, and in need of many snuggles. I snuggled her to sleep in our bed and she was out before 8. Poor girlie! The one thing I enjoy (and I know this sounds a little weird) about the kids getting sick is that we just STOP...nothing else matters, they need us, and the rest of the world will just have to wait. I wish life could be like that a little more often!
This sounds horrible, but I think most parents will understand this...Isabella (and Veronica too)has such a beauty about her when she is sick...I don't know what it is, but I look in her eyes and at her face and she is just breathtaking. I don't know if it's the vulnerability or what, but oh man, so beautiful. Now it's morning and I think we're in the clear...lucky...one time puke...we can handle that:)
Cute - V taking care of her sissy:)
