Well unfortunately, the "barf bowl" has seen some action over the last few days. Again, Hannah keeps it in her possession at all times. I am thankful that she has become so skilled in its proper use! A lot less laundry for me if you know what I mean.
We set up what Hannah refers to as her "sick station". Wherever she goes the station goes too. It is a bright and cheery day and I thought it might do her some good to look out the window for a while. She agreed only if I agreed to re-locate the "sick station" too. Like an entourage following royalty I packed out the gear while she sauntered out to the couch- all the way reminding me of the essentials: lip balm (behind her water bottle), paper dolls, personal dvd player, tissue, books, etch-a-sketch, and of course the barf bowl (strangely not pictured).
As much as it pains me to see them sick. I make a fine nurse. In fact, I was supposed to be at a birth this morning. Sadly, I had to decline. Instead I found myself making chicken soup (that went un-eaten) and my friend Lisa's miraculous honey/lemon/ginger/cayenne tea.
(Also not consumed by the patient). All this doting has left me ready for a nap. Hope you are well... ZZZZZZZZZZ.
Sooo sorry for Hannah's barfies. She is lucky to have a mother that understands the value of a sick station.
Give her a great big sloppy kiss from her grampa Jim and tell her that I love her very much.

Hope Hannah is feeling better soon! We have also had the "barf bucket" out here too. Emma has been home sick from school with a fever and a stomach bug. Her brother, Cameron, ended up with an ear infection and needed to be home also. I've spent the last couple of days waiting on three children.... and I'm ready for a nap too!

I'm sorry Hannah is sick again! Oh how sad it is when the wee ones are ill. I'll be praying she has a swift recovery. :)

Uggg, Stomach Flu, Darn you!! Yes, Eddrick just got over his and it was awful, let me tell you. The barf bucket went everywhere he did, yet odly enough never got to him in time. Resolve Carpet Cleaner is my new best friend!
