The GI bug comes to Payson Rd.

We have been lucky to date- Jackson and Shane have been very healthy! Well this weekend we got a double dose of the nasty bug that is going around. On Saturday we had an awesome visit with Great Grand Aunt Ru, the boys had lots of fun in the library at Bear Hill. But then Sunday hit and bam- the GI bug hit us.

Shane projectile vomited five times in the morning and both boys had diarrhea- yuck! Shane just wanted to be held all day and rest on your chest and Jackson was pretty quiet but liked all of the attention he was getting by whomever didn't have Shane. Bedtime was a bit crazy but we got through it.

Monday morning at 4:30 am I hear a knock at the door and a little voice calling mommy, mommy- it was Shane and clearly he was feeling better. He sat with us in bed for a few hours and then Jackson was knocking at the door. Both boys had a quite day and then tonight wasn't so quite- it was one of those nights that all you could do is laugh. We didn't want the boys to have milk b/c of their tummy issues but all they wanted was milk. So they woke up from their nap an hour early saying "My milk" repeatedly and they were crying. We dealt with that and then by the time we were ready to go upstairs they were back onto the milk kick. We washed hands and brushed our teeth and then started to get into PJs. No one was happy with their PJs and then the crying started again as we got our books out. We have lots of Elmo books but only one Elmo book is good at bed time and the boys fight over this book. Shane finally got the Elmo book and then we started crying about who would read the book to them. Jackson was doing something else so Mommy was "free" and Shane immediately ran over to mommy to jump on my lap. Then they started crying over mommy's lap b/c no one likes to share the lap at bedtime. It was a Crazy time with a capital C but one of those circumstances that all we could do was laugh because they were so cute. We love you Jackson and Shane, sleep tight!
