What a rough week...

This has been a pretty pathetic week in the Palmer house so far. Jack and Sam have both been sick with a nasty stomach bug, and I do mean nasty. My poor little guy went through two days of 20+ diaper changes due to this yucko bug and unfortunately no diaper in the world can hold it all in. Some how we made it a year with a puppy in this house and never had a stain on the carpet, now there are suspicous faint yellowish spots here and there, EVERYWHERE! Sam has told me that he can't see them, but I just know that the gross stuff is just lurking in there waiting to pop up again at any moment. It's awful. What I have learned in the past few days is that my son could puke,pee and poo on me all at the same time and I wouldn't freak out or get upset about the mess. It's really amazing how priorties change once you have a kid. Sam has had just as rough a go with this stuff and I don't know how I've managed not to get it. Well I do know, constant prayer!!

Despite being sick Jack has been as active as ever, maybe even more so. He has finally perfect crawling!! That being said, I've left the room for minutes at a time and come back to find him in new places. He gets so very excited about exploring new rooms or even corners of the living room he's not seen from his level before.

And the best thing about both of my boys being sick at the same time? It's really inspired some great daddy/baby bonding time:

Sam has really gone above and beyond to earn that Daddy title too. I think he has probably changed more diapers, cleaned up more poo and cuddled that little guy more than I have over the past few days, being just as sick on top of all that. Also he let me sleep in two days in a row after particularly rough nights with Jack. How awesome!!!

Also Jack is very excite about two new things:

His very first life jacket! "I'm ready to get on that boat Papa G!!"

And this fun new trick! "I can take my drink everywhere now!"
