So it turns out I was a little hasty with that whole “maybe Audrey’s all done vomiting” thing yesterday. The night, it was not pretty. But she’s made it all day today without further incident, so that’s something. Of course, she hasn’t eaten anything solid all day. And by “without further incident,” I do mean that she spent the entire morning alternating between screaming and nursing while drifting in and out of sleep. Who knew a toddler could both nurse and scream in her sleep?

And now I’m watching her color all over the refrigerator with chalk, because: hello, it’s chalk. It will brush right off. (Into a pile of dust that I’ll have to sweep up. Whatever.) Also because she’s not screaming or nursing, and whatever caused that can’t be all bad.

The other children continue to not be sick, for which we are most thankful. And now I’m going to express my thankfulness by eating another slice of chocolate cake.
