Grant was sick yesterday. The poor little guy was in an awful state from the moment he woke up. He couldn't keep much down. It was one of those days where nothing else gets done. I happily held him all day long. He never lets me do that.
I didn't have anything to do that couldn't be done on another day. So I spent my free moments scrubbing the carpet and laundering blankets, clothes, and stuffed animals.
It was one of those days that makes a mom feel like a mom- in the best way.
Not to mention that Grant's vomit-induced lethargy made for a singularly strife free day. No discontented screaming. No fights with Gracie. He laid low- mostly on my lap or shoulder.
When Cori came home, Grant
threw up again and we called our home teacher who came right over. Together, they gave Grant a blessing. I think Gracie's faith alone was enough to fill the room. She just knew Grant would be better. And he was. He kept down his dinner of toast and apple juice. He enjoyed a hot bubble bath with his sister and was back to his usual self.
It took him approximately 35 seconds to fall asleep and he slept well through the night.
I'm especially grateful to be a mom and at home with our kids on days like these.

Really aren't those day....
Priceless!
Oh, I hear ya! It is so hard to see them struggle, but such a relief to be there for them. Those pictures are sweet and terrible at the same time. Sorry you guys got hit with it. Keep the Purell handy for the next little while!
Oh, the poor little adorable guy. What a sweet story about his healing. And I'm glad you got to hold him so much. (Our Little Man's only been sick like that once and we loooved how cuddly he was).
As hard as those days are, they are the most rewarding, and I'm not quite sure why. Except all the perfect reasons you listed. And don't you just love the faith of a little one? I bet Gracie and mason could move a mountain together! Sure teaches you a lot!
hope things are better today.
