Again?!?

My hardly-ever-sick Brayden is sick again! Can you believe it? Twice in one week. He missed school Monday and Tuesday for a fever and sore throat (which he never really complained about) and now he is out today for some yucky throwing up. I truly hope this is a passing phase....maybe we're getting all of the illness out of the way to clear the schedule for the rest of the school year. *Or* maybe this is what happens to all kindergarten kids. I don't know....but seriously....

It is important to note that Dad made the dreaded trip to the pediatrician's office today. All four of us went, because it's just not fun unless we're doing it together! :-) In all seriousness, I am so thankful Scott was with us. Things are much easier, especially when one of the kids is sick. Which leads me to today's funny moment:

Brayden was laying on the exam table and I was standing next to him. Scott was holding Brody in his lap. They were chatting and playing when Scott says, "Brody, you smell like popcorn!" I look at the boys, with eyebrows raised and say, "Check his diaper." Scott proceeds to look and discover that no, in fact, it is not popcorn. :-)

So, it is later now and Brayden has perked up considerably. We made it through the rest of the afternoon and evening without incident. He's tested the waters with some flat sprite and a PB & J. So far, so good....Maybe, just maybe, this one is behind us.
