The Set up -
Alaina was pretty bad about taking her naps this weekend. In fact, she didn't take any at all.
We gave her Easter treats but not too many.
Because of the strange time schedule of the weekend, Alaina was completely distraught by bedtime. She cried for Mommy and didn't want mommy to leave the room. I never like these days because I just want to stay and hold her, but if I try that she just sits and talks to me and there is still no sleeping anyway.
I got up once at about 1 am when she cried for me.
Then 4 am came. . .
I nudged Jeff to get up and get Alaina when she cried this time.
When he went in her room she told daddy "I spilled."
"Spilled?" said daddy, "Spilled what?"
"I SPILLED!" (crying harder)
Jeff finally sees through the haze of sleepiness that Alaina had thrown up all over herself.
Joy.
Mommy gives her a bath to clean out her hair (ewww!!!!) and then we cuddle for a very long time - translation I didn't get to go back to sleep. I emailed/ called into work at about 6 am. Jeff and I assumed it was just too much Easter fun.
Until the diarrhea.
And when she vomited a second time in the van while we were getting ready to go into the grocery store for food.
Happy holidays to me . . . and here's a virus for your daughter.
The Easter Bunny is now on my hit list.
However, I'll see if I can wrangle some picks from Easter . . .my camera was dead so I depended mostly upon others.

Oh ick. I'm sorry! Hopefully your week gets better from there!
Don't you just love the way kids explain things- spilled! I hated when my children were sick. I didn't even mind cleaning up their messes. It's just- should I be worried, is this a virus or meningitis, is this fever too high, was their blood in that diarrhea, should vomit look like this, etc......... I think I was the official best worrier on the earth!
