Nathan, my youngest, has had a bit of a stomach virus this week. He has had yucky diapers and a very sore bottom since Monday. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on on Monday, and decided to take him grocery shopping with me after I dropped off the older two boys at gymnastics. DH was going to meet me at the store, get Nathan from me and pick the boys up so I could finish shopping alone.
While we were in the produce section, someone was passing out cucumber slices. I took one and offered one to Nathan (who is a horrible eater and literally eats from a menu of six tried and true favorites every day) who took one, much to my surprise. He was munching on it and I kept on shopping. DH showed up, in uniform, and we turned into the frozen foods aisle, when Nathan threw up, due to either choking on the cucumber peel, or his stomach virus -- I don't know which. DH ends up carrying a puke-covered kid out to the car while in his blues, while I hang out in the frozen foods section with a cart full of food next to a puddle of puke. Thank God DH was there is all I could think. (DH told me later that all the people who walked by me while I was waiting for the clean-up crew probably thought I was the one who puked since there was no baby with me!)
When I got home and was dealing with the pukey laundry, I realized that the shorts Nathan was wearing that day (which I had noticed were a little big on him) were actually his older brother's size 7 shorts. The scary thing is that the shorts were actually staying up on him, although they were baggy -- Nathan is only 21 months old! That is when I realized that I hadn't been feeling too hot all day, either......
We are all feeling better today and Nathan is back in his 3Ts, which are fitting him just fine.
