Did you know there's a direct relationship between the age of the child and the odds of them throwing up in the middle of the night? It's true. The younger the child, the more likely they are to pick the middle of the night to start a stomach bug. I told you how kids were sick while dad was out of town. Why does that always seem to happen as well? Our little Micah kept falling asleep in the chair. I didn't move him to his bed because, well, I didn't want to change the sheets numerous times. This chair's seen more than it's fair share of collateral damage so it seemed like a good place to just let him sleep.
Now Elijah has started just throwing up and going back to sleep. He tries to hit the bowl and does a pretty fair job of it, but I sure wish he'd come let someone know about it. It goes unnoticed till I'm walking down the hall and wondering what that smell is! Here he is asleep. In the same chair. And no, that's not going to hurt his neck. He sleeps like that all the time. He was in the womb like that. I keep thinking it'll catch up to him someday and then he's going to need a really good chiropractor!
So that's my secret for slowing down little boys. It has it's drawbacks of course, but I try to look for the good in things otherwise I'd go crazy.
