Calvin threw up two more times during the night. He gave us fair warning by waking up and starting to cry. Erin was able to get in the room in time so that it got in the bucket and not on his bed. Unfortunately dada didn't fair much better than Calvin last night. My upset stomach turned into praying to the porcelain god. Erin was very helpful last night and took care of Calvin and also the babies since I was sick.
I was able to garner enough strength to get a shower and then help get the kids ready before dropping them off at daycare. I was able to get Brayden out of their room without waking up Calvin. While we were driving Brayden asked "where brother go?". Brayden was a little shy at first when we arrived at daycare. But soon enough I got him playing with a big truck and he was happy. Calvin stayed home with dada today. Having sick kids is the worst thing that can happen right now with Erin not being able to do much. It's not that she physically can't do anything, but we don't want her doing anything that could rip the stitches before she fully heals. The surgery was way too expensive to repeat.
The daycare lady said that a number of other kids were sick. Someone must have spread it at the previous daycare place. No big deal, that's what you get when you have kids. On my way home I stopped at a 7-Eleven and picked up some Gatorade. I figured Calvin could drink that and it would help to rehydrate him.
Calvin didn't end up waking up until about 8:30. Considering he went to bed at 6:00 last night that's a pretty long time. He obviously needed it. I gave him some watered-down lemon Gatorade and he drank the whole thing immediately. There's no doubt he had to be dehydrated.
We played for a while and then dada fell asleep on the couch. Calvin kept playing and would eventually come up to me and wake me up by showing me something. I woke up a little after noon and Calvin was sleeping on the floor next to me. After he got up I made him some pancakes. I was at the kitchen island cutting the pancakes into smaller pieces and he was running around the house (from the kitchen, to the dining room, living room, foyer and back to the kitchen). He would stop and pick up a piece of pancake then it was time for another lap. Pancakes apparently make for a pretty good pit stop.
I brought Calvin with me to pick up the other kids from daycare. Calvin kept saying "going to get Carter and Sister and BRAY BRAY!" Brayden was very excited to see Calvin. He started twirling around and couldn't stop smiling. It seems like the kids had a good day at the new daycare so that's good.
This evening the boys were riding their cars around the house. I noticed a trail of chocolate milk from where they were riding. Brayden decided to put his cup of chocolate milk in the compartment under his seat and it was leaking out and getting on the floor. The boys were very helpful cleaning up. They kept pointing out all the places that needed to be cleaned "mess over there dada".
The babies can pull out their paci and put it back in their mouth. Not sure how long they've been doing it. Sometimes you see them do things, but it doesn't really register until sometime later. I think that Carter and Aubrey missed Calvin today because they kept looking at him and smiling all night.
