Sick Kids

It's always painful to watch when one of your little ones gets sick. Our 5 year old is currently exploding out of both ends and is one of those people (like me) that hates being sick.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't - you need to maintain their fluids or they dehydrate, but when you do it induces another round of vomiting. You can just rub their backs, soothe them and hold the bucket.

The other down side is that usually at least one other member of the family catches it, ususally when the one that had it first is better, thus making the imapct of the bug more impressive.

So, we've just racked up the DVDs and watch, snooze, catch and clean up. Hopefully it's just a 24 hour bug.
