After a 102.1 temperature last night and his description of how his stomach hurt (and the fact that it had been 24 hours since he’d eaten) I thought for sure we would find ourselves in our friendly Children’s Hospital ER in the middle of the night. So to prepare my boy that doesn’t like to do things without warning I said: "If you throw up in the middle of the night we’re going to go to the doctor" to which he replies "Then I will hold ALLLL my throw up in Mommy. No hospital."

We all slept through the night soundly. I guess he was serious.
