Saltines and 7-UP

I have officially been initiated into another part of motherhood. A not so pleasant part, but another part none the less. When Dylon was little he of course had the stomach flu, but it is a whole new world when they are on "normal food" not just milk. Last night as Dwayne and I were about to get into bed we heard this weird noise. Well, it was Dylon, poor little guy was woken up spewing his days meals all over. Unfortunately I had picked him up thinking he was done and received a not so pleasant surprise in my hair and all over me. (This happened twice throughout the night.) Anyway, so the two of us had a long night together, and now we have a blanket spread on the floor in front of the TV and have been enjoying saltines and 7-UP (which Dwayne was so nice to pick up during his lunch break), oh and of course pedialite. It is so hard to watch your little ones go through this, but it is bringing back memories of when my mom or dad would bring home 7-UP, eating saltines all day, and watching TV/movies. Somehow even though I was in pain and didn't feel good, there is some how a comfort to saltines and 7-UP. I hope Dylon will enjoy these days of saltines and 7-UP even though it will be from the result of him not feeling good.
