to bed at 11 when he remembered that he didn't check all the doors so he was walking down the hall when he heard a weird noise from the boys room. He opened the door and yelled for me to come. I knew something was wrong and jumped out of bed. Jamie is just standing there throwing in the doorway, so I take his arm and lead him to the bathroom. I tried to make him throw up into the toilet, but he is scared and angry and very resistant so I just strip him quick and put him in the bathtub. (Very little time has actually passed at this point) and just then Scott brings Finn into the bathroom. What we figure happened based on Finn's appearance is that he and Jamie fell asleep together in Jamie's bed and when he woke up and started throwing up, he was right next to Finn. Finn's whole head was covered so we dumped him right in the bathtub too. Unfortunately he HATES baths right now and sobbed and started shaking. (What a shock the whole thing must have been to him, which hadn't even lasted 5 minutes at this point.) So they are both crying and confused since they were just asleep and I'm trying to wash them as fast as I can. Jamie starts telling me that I really hurt his feelings when I told him to go back in his room ( which was hours ago) so I'm telling them both I'm so sorry and I just want to hug them. Scott and I get them out of the tub and he takes them into the living room and turns on cartoons for them. He just hold Finn since he is still shaking and I have to get the baby because of course all the commotion woke her up! Once I get her all situated and we make sure the boys are ok we go into the room to survey the damage....wow, it is really sucky to be the parents! We got all the bedding and a area rug up and into a bag to deal with later and I tried to clean up everything else so the smell would go away. Scott set up some fans so that helped a lot. It wasn't much fun since Scott and I were just sick on Tuesday and I wasn't feeling 100% yet, but I made up Jamie's bed again and went back out into the living room. Finn was fine at this point and started running around and bothering Jamie so I put him back to bed. I was going to let him sleep out there, but he wasn't going to settle down unfortunately. So I got my pillows and sent Scott to bed since he had to go to work today. I settled Jamie on his little pull out couch with a bucket and a towel and we laid down. He threw up at 2, 4, 5 and 5:30, but as of right now he might be done. He has a little fever, but seems to be feeling better since he is pestering me for little drinks of 7up. (They sure bounce back fast!) What a day for it to be Finn's 2nd birthday! I can't even believe it. I hope I can get the cupcakes made and frosted today for tomorrow and I hope Jamie is better. Kids are always interesting! The worst was at 5 he woke me up out of a dream that they were all throwing up!
