Various viruses are making their way through our family. Daniel seems to be hit the hardest. As a person who has a hard time relinquishing control, he really struggles with a stomach bug. His body rebels and there is nothing he can do. Except scream about things he *thinks* he has control over. Like whether he should have peanut butter and jelly or oatmeal with raisins for lunch (instead of choosing between a bite of Gerber rice cereal or one saltine cracker).
I love how kids describe their various hurts and illnesses. Ami used to say her neck hurt when she had a sore throat. Daniel says his tongue hurts and he "choked" on Daddy's shirt, when he actually barfed. At least he is learning how to use the bowl!
