Vomit

This is one of the mysteries of parenthood: why does my child decide to get sick at midnight?

My child has yet to wake up in the morning to tell that she is sick. All of her illnesses start at midnight. It is kind of freaky.

Wednesday night she got up around 11 p.m. for a bathroom break, which is routine. But then she was unconscionable, crying, demanding cuddles in the rocking chair. Then after we settled her down, she threw up. A quick cleanup of puke all over the bathroom floor, we thought we were in the clear until she threw up two hours later. And before dawn could break, there was another incident that involved vomiting.

The washer ran constantly yesterday as I had laundry from two beds, along with darling daughter's pukey clothes, to wash. Poor pink dolly. She got vomited on twice in a span of 12 hours. Fifteen minutes after she freed from the dryer, darling daughter threw up on her again. Back into the wash she went.

So far, we've been 24-hours free of any vomiting incidents. I finally got around to doing a major scrub down of the bathroom floor today as I wasn't happy with the quick cleanup job I did the other day. The laundry is done and put away. Hopefully we stay puke-free for the time being.
