Vomit.

Poor Little Aidan. There must be a bug going around his school at the moment. A few of the kids have had some time off, but Aidan managed to make it through the whole week. Tonight, being take-away night, we had Fish and Chips for dinner. Aidan also must have had a few snacks during the day, and being school "Cooking" day, we know he would have eaten everything that they cooked.

Aidan was very good this afternoon, although Anth had said he was a little lethargic. This evening, Anth and Callum had a bath. She had used a "Bath Bomb" to help relax her. Aidan jumped into the bath after Anth had finished, and perhaps when he drank the bath water, it didn't go down too well. After he finished and got out of the bath, he began to constantly ask for a drink of water. He must have drunken a fair amount.

We put him to bed at around 8:30pm, but after 8:45pm we heard a coughing sound, and then that familiar sound which brings tears to the eyes of all parents. And not just from the desire to protect our ill child. Its usually, "Oh Shit, now I have to clean up a room full of vomit." Aidan was quite good this time, managing to keep the two very large pools on the bed itself. Gross image, isn't it. Anth and I were able to shower Aidan, clean the room, and get our pastey White little boy back to bed within 10 minutes. Hopefully he feels better tomorrow.

Ciao for Now, "I ain't cleaning it up if its everywhere" Angry Dad.

You can consider yourself lucky that this only happened ONCE in the night! A few weeks ago, my boys tandum-puked for a solid three hours in the middle of the night! Fun! I actually threw away some bedding secause there just didn't seem to be any hope . . .
