There's a Party in My Tummy

Katelynn has had some type of stomach bug this weekend. Saturday morning she woke up at 5:30am and came down saying she wasn't feeling very well and I had her crawl into bed with me and Dan. By 6am she was throwing up outside of our bathroom and then outside of the other bathroom and then finally in the bathroom. Yuck, what a mess. Dan helped me clean-up the carpets and get everyone settled for the morning and then he was off to work for a couple of hours. Katelynn was fine most of the day and we decided that we should have a movie day and hang out and relax. I remember how exciting it was when I was little and we got to go to the movie store and pick out movies to rent (and we had to rent the VCR too). Walking through the movie store and looking at each one and deciding. So after naps we ran to the grocery store and to the movie store. Dan and I picked out a couple of movies and they have a free kids rental with any movie rental, so Katelynn got to pick out 2. She went for 2 Care Bear movies. Home we went and ate supper and made popcorn and had a little movie party. She seemed to be doing good the rest of the day. After I put her to bed so Dan and I could watch our movie she came down the steps to talk to me and told me her tummy was hurting again, but she didn't have to puke. We had a little conversation on the stairs. Katelynn told me - there are little guys in my belly and they are having a celebration. They are jumping around and having a party - a birthday party. She told me all about the little guys and the party and how they were dancing around and on and on and on. I told her to keep drinking water and eventually she would flush them out. Well, that happened this morning on Dan's watch, but I won't go into detail about that! Next time you have a stomach remember the little guys and that there may just be a celebration they needed have!
