You know your child is sick when...

She vomits on your dinner plate.

We were all sitting at supper with one of Emma's friends. Emma was complaining of an upset stomach and we knew something was wrong when she wasn't asking for a snack every 15 minutes as usual. Even at supper she ate only rice and a little peppermint tea. She started acting a bit tired and quiet (very not Emma) and came over and sat on my lap as we sat at the supper table.

She had her head lain on my arm and then... blech (or whatever sound it is), she vomited directly onto my supper plate. She of course has the consideration not to get any at all on the placemat or table :). Needless to say, I lost my appetite.

Poor thing, you know she isn't feeling well when she agrees to go to bed an hour early. I checked for a fever (there is none) and we put her to bed. I hope she feels better tomorrow!

Oh, poor thing (both of you). After kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, I have a cast iron stomach but even I would have been put off my dinner.

I always blame shifts in the weather for stuff like that. I was watching a Giants game (sob) the other day and SF hit 95. That's like us shooting up to 110. It's a wonder everyone wasn't passing out.

Hope it's just a passing crud and she's already feeling better.

Blech! :-)
amusing how at least Emma's vomit didn't splatter past the plate. poor thing, glad you were there to take care of her. hope she's feeling better by now!
