Pitiful William

I always thought I was not the sort of person who would have all that much to say about bodily functions, but I guess having children changes that. William is sick today, and threw up all over himself and me three different times. He’s too little to really understand what’s happening, and definitely doesn’t get the concept of the throw-up bucket. He got pretty upset the second time, not only because he doesn’t know what’s happening, but also because he soaked his dinosaur pajamas. After I got him cleaned up, he said, “Mommy, I spit all over. I all done. I am keeping my mouth closed,” and he put his little hand up to cover his mouth. If it only worked that way. He’s feeling better now and taking a long nap, but he sure has been pitiful today.
