Rough Night


So, there's nothing like the sound of one of your kids running to the bathroom in the middle of the night! That's what I heard last night at 3am! I can't imagine the flu bug could be back at our house, so I am hoping it was something he ate??? He acts totally fine now, but I got the cutest story out of that nasty experience!

I heard him crying so I run in there and of course he has managed to miss the toilet SEVERAL times! So I am cleaning up and we are both doing a little gagging and and this is how our conversation goes:
B: I can't believe I was sick 3 times!

Me: I know bud that's yucky!

B: Well, there's only one thing to do! (in a matter-of-fact tone)

Me: what's that?

B: Say a prayer! (with such confidence)

Me: oh, ya think? (kind of brushing it off, b/c I was mopping up nastiness)

{A few seconds passed}

B: SAY IT! (impatient and desperate to get better, as he was still puking)

I wanted to laugh, cry and I was shocked all at the same time! So I finally said a short prayer and he stopped his gagging long enough to fold his arms and lay his head down. When I was done he looked right at me and said "Amen". It was like he knew he could relax and he would get better!
Ahhh..the {Faith} of a child!
