“My tummy hurts”
Since last night was the start of the weekend we decided to do some running around and catch a quick bite to eat. We don’t eat out much ever since going down to one income so I could be at home full time we have cut way back on the eating out. But since it was Friday night we thought what the hey. So we threw everyone in the car and we were off. We decided to eat fast food because the Chickens were craving french fries…BIG MISTAKE. I think I may never eat fast food again… Boo started grabbing her tummy during supper and saying ” my tummy hurts” but then she kept eating. I kept asking her if she was ok and she would say, “yes” then say, ” my tummy hurts” typical 2 year old answers. I thought maybe she had eaten to fast and that it would pass sometimes she will say her tummy hurts because she is hungry. But she kept grabbing at her little tummy and that is odd. Boo is pretty tough when she falls down she rarely cries for long and takes bumps and bruises far better then her 4 year brother she is a tough little thing. So as the night progressed she started complaining more and more and by the time we got home she was grabbing her stomach and screaming I mean screaming, ” My tummy hurts my tummy hurts.”
I was freaking out by this time so I sent Ben to the store to get something anything to help, called my mom frantically and twittered asking what to do? My mom suggested Pepto Bismal and told me to have Ben ask the pharmacist. He told Ben to try Mylicon he seemed to think it could be gas pains so he got that and child Pepto Bismal. By the time Ben got home she had calmed down a lot but we still gave her the Pepto Bismal and Mylicon and both seemed to help pretty quickly.
This was Boo coloring shortly after daddy got home. Feeling much better.
I was so thankful that this episode passed fairly quickly because it scared me. Boo has never had this reaction to anything before and you never want to see your child in pain. I want to thank @flygirllovexxx and @GAFlygirl for their words of encouragement on twitter. They both seemed to nail it as being gas it was nice to know I was not alone and to get advice so quickly. So I think the moral of the story is we will be avoiding fast food restaurants in the near future, keeping the Mylicon handy and twitter any questions. =-)
Daddy is 2…
Mason and I sang Happy Birthday to Boo the morning of her actual birthday and yes we had birthday cake for breakfast.
So Kyra turned two this past Monday…and if you ask her how old she is she will say “two.” But now she thinks everyone is “two”. So we had this interesting conversation at breakfast the other day….
I asked her how old she was and she said, “two.” Then I asked her how old is daddy and she said “two”.. This is when Mason chimed in, ” No, Kyra, Daddy is not two he is three.” He said this with confidence. I told him that Daddy wasn’t three so Mason questioned, ” Is he four mommy? Or is he five?”
Ah to be young again… =-)
Shoes….. Wordless Wednesday..
Kyra has thing about shoes she loves to wear them and she loves to try them on. It does not matter if they are Mason’s shoes, Daddy’s shoes or Mommy’s shoes she tries them all on. We go down the shoe aisle at a store and she starts trying to pull her shoes off so she can try on new ones. Needless to say moving into a larger house she can easily lose one shoe and she is at the age when you ask her where the missing one is she goes” don’t know” which is not a huge help especially if you are trying to rush out the door and your child only has one shoe on.
Anyway I keep a pair of flip flops by the front door that I use if I have to go in the front yard or when I get the mail. I came around the corner the other night and saw this……
she had put her shoes with mommy’s shoes. For me this was an ahhh moment so much so that I took a picture of it. Sappy I know but very sweet too. =-)
