eww.

Wittle Fatguy (Sammy's nickname for miniman) is sicky.
The bad news:

• He tossed his cookies violently 9 times one night
• Plus he had equally violent diaper explosions
• The frequency has died down a bit but it's 4 days later and he is still doing both
• And he whines all the time in pain and I can't get much done in terms of the ever mounting vomity laundry and growing pile of molding dishes (the gruesome facts)

The good news:

• He seems to be maintaining some hydration (somehow?!)
• He still smiles and he even developed a new "fake smile" where he makes a smile by using his huge cheeks to jam his mouth and face and eyes into a small envelope of smashy space around his nose/eyes
• It seems to be just a virus and I recognize that it could be so much worse. I marvel at people who deal with constant health challenges personally, or with family members, and especially with one of their children or even their spouse (like my cousin right now).

The most positive side-effect:

• he snuggles a lot.
