Well, earlier this week, my kid became "that kid". On the way to school Caden told Spencer that his stomach hurt. Spencer asks "Do you need to poop?" No, and that was that. He didn't complain much more than that.
30 minutes later the school nurse was calling and I was picking Caden up. Oatmeal and bananas all over the classroom floor. The class got some extra playground time while the custodian cleaned up. His class had two kids day before go home with the stomach flu and he was unlucky enough to catch the bug.
He was pretty wiped out most of the day and day after. Poor boy couldn't keep anything down. He did good at home though. We gave him a bowl and three other options. If your feeling sick, run to 1) the toilet 2) the trash or 3) outside.
Two days later he was able to go back to school. We asked him if anyone teased him about the incident. No, not one. So I guess the extra playground time paid off.

Too funny- but I feel horrible for him at the same time! This is Talia, Glenn's wife, we met you guys for a baseball game in Memphis 2 summers ago I think when you were preggo with Daisy? Anyway, your family is STILL adorable and I can't believe you're in round 4! Congrats! Glenn showed me your blog the other night. Happy holidays and I'm happy to look at your pictures on here!
I remember when I was in first grade, a kid named paul kept crying for a long time, cuz he said he had a headache. Then he threw up all kinds on his pants. I thought that was nasty.
That bug is definately going around. Shaylee was sick on Monday with the same thing. I asked the same question Spencer did "Do you have to poop?" and of course 20 minutes later....puke all over my rug. It was a reoccurance all day long. Then Greg took my wool rug outside and hosed it off, so when it came back inside, it smelled like puke, and a wet dog.
