Laundry and Vomit.

Josiah is never sick. Until today, he has only ever thrown up twice.

The first being on a road trip from Indiana to Michigan last July. He was sleeping in his carseat, woke up randomly, and threw up a bunch of grapes. He was otherwise fine.

The second time was a few weeks ago after we got off of a bus. We stepped onto the sidewalk and then there was a puddle in front of him. He was quite confused by what had happened and we talked about it for weeks afterwards whenever we got off that bus. He was otherwise fine.

But today? Not so fine. He woke up after a good night's sleep and seemed fine, though he was a bit more cuddly than usual. I gave him some (very, very watered down) juice and went to the kitchen to make french toast.

And then he threw up. It was just the juice water, but it was very obvious he didn't feel well. So I put him in the bath. Then as he was laying on my bed so I could put clothes on him, he threw up again. And maybe even again before I got him set up for a sick day on the couch. For the next few hours, he threw up anything that went into him.

Josiah got quite good at throwing up in a bucket and even better at continuing to watch his movie while throwing up in the bucket.

He finally fell asleep around 2:30, slept for a few hours, and seems generally fine now. He's eating a bit and is energetic and has pooped. He and Daddy (well, Daddy) have built an awesome ramp to race cars.

Unfortunately, a small washing machine with a 2 hour cycle and a clothesline do not fit very well with a morning of throwing up all over everything!

Thankfully, we have extras. :)
