so little dude had loose poopies yesterday, which is not all that unusual for my little veggie kid. (he's going to thank me someday, recording his bowel movements for posterity here on lj).

then last night at 3 in the morning, he started urping. and he threw up like 4 or 5 times until 5:30 in the morning. and it smelled awful. i gave him verbatum album. it seemed to help. he slept at the foot of the bed from 5:30 on, (i guess he wanted to be closer to the bathroom, or he was just too tired to climb up to the top with me)and he seems to be fine now. he's asking for food, even.

so now the investigation begins. was it something he ate? what? did he pick up some germies at school (most likely)? if so, can we have melrose and her kids over today? (probably not). i'm glad he's doing better, because in the throes of it i was of course worrying that he had encephalitis or something form the mosquitoes in mexico.

i did get to the movie store last night and they actually had a copy of o brother where art thou. muriel said it was really really funny.

will watch it today.

i'm sorta afraid to go anywhere with little dude, just to have him rest and reaclimate. this is what being a mom is all about. i always wondered how my mom could stand to watch me puke, and even hold my head and everything. my dad never could, he had to leave the room. i thought it had something to do with her being a nurse, but now i know it's just momness. poor little guy....
