A Mommy "JUST KNOWS!"
Yes, a mommy just knows....
*The sound of her child's cry (even yards away in a crowded playground).
*When her child is lying.
*When her child says "I love you, mommy" ever so sweetly for no apparent reason he/she WANTS something!
*That as soon as you give a toddler a regular cup it WILL be spelt within a minute.

So when I awoke in the middle of the night for no apparent reason I knew something was wrong. As I (half asleep) stepped into the hallway I saw Ian standing at the other end with his arms by his side staring straight ahead.

Ian, are you okay sweetie? (no answer) Ian, come here to mommy, I'll put you back to bed. (no answer or movement)

Okay, now I'm getting a little freaked out. He looks creepy just standing there. I expect him to raise his index finger and start murmuring "RED-RUM! RED-RUM!". (I have watched one to many scary movies in my lifetime.)

As I walk towards him something inside me tells me to walk faster.... I get to him just in time to catch a handful of vomit! I rush to the bathroom rinse my hands grab a towel and rush back to Ian. Luckily he waited for me and as soon as bend down to pick him up..... he violently barfs all over the front of my shirt, completely missing the towel I'm holding out to him. Two more outbursts before we make it to the bathroom... then no more the second I plop him down in front to the toilet. So, 2:00am and I'm bathing a reluctant 3 yr old and the fun doesn't end there; I still have a hallway to clean/disinfect not to mention "I" need to take a quick shower and run a load of all the newly soiled items. *fun times*
