Hello again....

Wow...it has been long time since I have been with you all in bloggy land.

Lots of things have happened in our home...and maybe someday I will tell you all about them.

Today...just a funny story.

Yesterday afternoon I got the call that moms all over America dread. It goes like this... "This is the school nurse. Your son just threw up in class. Could you come get him? "

Poor Little Man...he was miserable for most of the night. He doesn't have much reserve body fat...and when he gets sick, he tends to become dehydrated really quickly. The last time he was sick, we ended up spending most of a day in the hospital getting IV fluids.

Knowing his history...we didn't wait long to give him a suppository, which in theory is supposed to stop the vomiting. For the record...he threw up about 15 times AFTER the dreaded procedure. (You know you are growing up when you are administering suppositories!)

Anyway, this morning, this is the conversation I overheard:

Cedar: "Are you feeling better this morning?"

Little Man: "Yep...mom put some medicine in my bottom"

Cedar: "Did it hurt?"

Little Man: "Not too much"

Cedar: "What did it look like? Was it big?"

Little Man: "It wasn't too big, it was a little big"

Cedar: "Have I ever had to have medicine in my bottom?"

Gracie enters the conversation at this point...

Gracie: "I have....it hurts"

Cedar: "I don't ever want to have medicine in my bottom"

Little Man: "I think I'll be short my whole life."

Cedar: "When you get to be a dad, you'll be taller."

Gracie: "I can't wait to tell Mrs. Roth that we are celebrating my birthday today, even though my birthday isn't until tomorrow...but we are having it today because tomorrow is so busy...and can I tell her that I will bring my birthday treats tomorrow, because that is my real birthday? "

Little Man: "I like those big vans with the big windows in the back."


My friends, you just don't get conversations like that every day. Who said that being a mom isn't exhausting...I mean exciting?!
