Well 3 weeks or so after the first round of puking, it hit us again :(
We were out shopping on a Saturday afternoon and Madilyn fell asleep in the car so I stayed in the car with the kids while Paul ran in to Best Buy and Lowes....good thing Mad fell asleep because a few minutes after Paul had been gone Cowen started puking...poor little guy. He puked 4 times that afternoon, then slept all night like normal and woke up fine. We felt like we got off easy. Sunday was great and then Monday morning at around 1:30 am Madilyn started crying. Paul went into her room and she puked. We brought her into our room and the poor thing was up all night puking every 15 minutes. It hit her hard. She finally fell asleep around 6 am and got up at 11 am like nothing ever happened. I couldn't believe the energy she had that day....I was dragging after being up all night.
All is well now though.
And then there is the preschool thing.....
The Thursday before Madilyn got sick I attempted to take her to preschool again. I brought her in a little early per the teacher's advice and she was fine until I tried to leave. She threw a fit..crying and screaming. I took her out to the lobby and then one of the other moms came up to me and hugged me and told me that she knew how I was feeling. I was crying at this point and we talked for a little bit.. Then she offered to walk Madilyn to class. I watched her little one while she did this and it worked!! She offered to do it every time if I needed her too. I was amazed at how nice and understanding she was while all the other moms were just starring at us while Madilyn was throwing her fit. It meant the world to me that she was there for me. Well I had to keep Mad home for the next day of preschool as she was still sick...then it was Thanksgiving...then today when Mad didn't even want to get in the car to go to school. It was today that Paul and I said that it isn't worth it anymore. We are taking her out until she is 4. We are going to try other ways to socialize her until then and work on preschool type curriculum at home with her. It isn't worth me crying and Madilyn being so upset. It is puzzling to me how she loved it for over 2 months and now this, but she is only 3.
