No Wonder

So, it has become clear why Dalton was sleeping so great...sleeping through the night Sunday to Monday and then I let him take a 4 hour nap yesterday: he's sick. Thank you, Daycare!

He's icky sick...tummy bug. It is so sad. He's still got his cough and sniffles from their last illness and now this.

All day yesterday he was looking 'puffy' to me. Then there was that 4 hour nap. Now, normally I would never let him sleep this long mostly because I don't like him to go that long between eating. But, something told me it was okay and since Easton was napping too I selfishly enjoyed my Harry Potter and woke D up once E woke.

At his pre-bath nursing last night he drank lots and lots of milk. Then he had a huge puking session all over me and him and his rocking chair. Yum. I waited for Jason to come help me and then both D and I got in the shower to clean up. I felt so bad for him. He's still so sweet, even though he's not feeling his best.

Needless to say, last night was rough. Good thing he'd slept through the night before. He yakked again during the night and then this morning too. His armpit temp when he woke up was 100.0 without adding the degree some say you should add. I'm watching him closely for dehydration but he is managing to keep some milk down. Poor guy. I really really hope he doesn't pass this one to his big brother. Ick.

This is why my scrawny sickly kid avoided daycare (and church, etc.) for 2.5 years. His body couldn't have handled things as well. Colds could've quickly turned life threatening for E and his lungs. Having a baby that's been sick as much as Dalton is a switch. I sure hope he's getting all these things out of the way early. Probably not.

The other kid? Well, Easton is doing well with his Pull Ups, actually. I haven't asked him about pottying at all today but he has initiated 5 trips himself. And it's not even 10:00. I'm happy. With that, anyway.

But my sweet, sweet Dizzle. I hope this ends soon.
