quick sick

Caleb and Logan have both been 'blessed' with some quick moving stomach bug.  Sometime during the night last Wednesday, Caleb threw up (from the top bunk, down the ladder, onto the floor...) and of course we didn't find out about it until the next morning.  Mike and I were supposed to go to Grandpa Wesseling's funeral, but I stayed home with the kids so that Mike could go.  Caleb did throw up one more time (We were upstairs in Levi's room and I saw it coming, so I quick got him in the hallway so it landed on hard floor instead of carpet - whew!), but after that he was fine.

Things were good for a couple days and I thought we were in the clear!  However, Saturday afternoon we went to the Tiemeyer Christmas party in Charlotte, and when we were almost home Logan threw up in the van.  (I was in the truck because we had picked Mike up there on the way to the party.)  He got sick a few more times that evening, but then got a good night's sleep and was fine in the morning.  After much consideration, Mike took Caleb and Logan to Sunday School for rehearsal because the Christmas program was in the evening and we had all been very much looking forward to it.

I'm keeping a close eye on Levi!

So, yeah, last night was the church Christmas program!  A much anticipated event in our household (mostly by Mike and I, the unabashedly proud parents).  This was Levi's first program.  Mike's been coaching him for weeks to say, "Hi, Dad!" from up on stage, and we've been encouraging him to sing, but he was as stoic as ever up there.  Partway through he spotted us and gave us a smile, and he did ring his bell when the time came, but otherwise did not make a peep!  Oh well, could have been worse...  :)  The 2's and 3's were definitely not a very lively group this year.

Caleb and Logan on the other hand...  First, their class was sitting on benches at the very front waiting for their turn in the program.  When Levi's class came walking in Caleb was waving to Levi and MADE SURE Levi saw him - as in, stood up, leaned over the bench in front of him, and waved and waved right in Levi's face.  Really wish I had gotten a shot of that.  Then when it was their turn, they went up on the steps and everything was good.  Well, I could tell right away that Caleb and the boy next to him should not have been allowed to be next to each other, but both Caleb and Logan were standing nice and singing.  We got a few waves and smiles.  Partway through, Caleb had an issue with his tie.  It was not on anymore, and at one point he turned around so a teacher could try and put it back on.  She was not successful, so, he took his tie and clipped it to his chest pocket for the rest of their songs.  There were a few chuckles over that one.  :)  We were worried about Logan for a minute because he was standing there looking blank, but all was well.
