Hunger Strike

To add to W's croup, he has basically gone on a hunger strike. His last real meal was Friday (until tonight, but that was a bust) and has been living on milk until today when he drank juice as well. Fruit smoothies, freezies, and all his regular favorites have been offered time and time again only to be adamantly refused. Until tonight....
...tonight our little petrie dish consumed a poached egg (which he normally LOVES) and Kraft Dinner (can you tell I'm desperate?). Yay! What a lovely surprise to have him consume a meal. Such relief, until....
...bedtime. W & I were going through our regular bed time routine when a coughing fit took hold which resulted in projectile vomit all over the two of us. So much for his first meal in five days! It broke my heart to see him go through that especially with his desperate cries of "Oh No! Oh No!" So after a very necessary clean up, he's enjoying a much needed slumber and is undoubtedly back to the hunger strike.
Aaahhh...this must be what true parenthood is all about.

  1. It is the true force of motherhood that we can be puked on, and manage to feel worse for the little vomit machine.
    Only a mother!
    Well, and sometimes Daddy too.
