well.....last night was just downright yucky. jordan was acting weird all day and then at dinner time, he didn't want to eat. anything. he just wanted gobs of water. which i gladly gave him. i breastfed him, rocked him to sleep and placed him in his bed. he slept for about 5 minutes and woke up screaming. i went into his room, frustrated. he WILL NOT stay asleep in his bed so he's been sleeping with me. i got down to his level and explained to him "this is ridiculous. this isn't gonna be a thing now, mister. mommy needs some sleep too baby..." he started getting upset and bouncing a little on his mattress. then......*barfing noise* baby puke everywhere. on him, on me, in his bed, on the floor. everywhere. to the sink we went where he vomited again. drain. refill. wash. i got him dressed and changed myself and sat down to cuddle with him. where again, he vomited everywhere.
if he's ever in some frat boy puking contest (god forbid) he'll win for best projectile. seriously. that kid's got range...
anyway, back to the sink. more vomit. once everyone is cleaned up again we cuddle til he falls asleep. sitting up. at 11pm. i take him back to his bed and perform the least graceful transfer from my arms to his mattress and miraculously, he stays asleep. i crawled into bed, exhausted and napped for an hour before jordan was up crying again.
but today is a new day and my bright eyed, smiley boy is back again!

i tried giving him pedialyte today, and he just looks at me and spits it out.
stinker.
I have soooo been there! My boys are sick right now, and not hardly eating. I mix pedialyte with apple juice, and they drink it better than pedialyte alone.
