I came home from work today to find that Allyx had thrown up. Nahinu waited at home with her until I was finished working and could be home with her. She threw up one more time and fell asleep for about an hour. I laid next to her, typing away on the iPad, not wanting to leave her side in case she threw up again, but needing to get some work done too.
"Mommy, I want some pancakes please."
I did NOT want to clean up pancakes (or anything else for that matter) if her body rejected them. Three times I asked her, "Sweety, are you sure?" Three times she nodded her head. So, downstairs we went to whip up some pancakes.
I sat Allyx down on the comfy chair, flip on the tv and head to the kitchen. A few minutes later, she says, "Mommy, my neck hurts."
I walk over to her and ask, "Where does your neck hurt? Show me."
She pointed to her throat.
"Do you want some medicine? It will make it feel better," I ask her.
She nodded so I made my way back into the kitchen to dig out a throat lozenge. I pick the one I think will taste the best, open it up and hand it to her. She immediately thanks me and places the lozenge directly on her neck, over her throat. Where it hurts, of course!
Since I'm such a good mother, I laugh. Out loud. And then fall to the floor because I'm laughing so hard. Allyx was completely oblivious to the fact that I'm on the floor laughing at her. She was so sick I don't think she even remembered I was in the room. Even though I was laughing hysterically. After laughing for a solid 3 minutes, I calm down enough to tell her she needs to eat it.
Allyx is awesome. She makes me laugh on purpose and on accident!
