Graham Does


My kids are home from school today because one was sick all night--Graham. He just wsalked into my room, and said, "Mom, I threw up on my bed twice." :(

Yuck. Someone has laundry to do.

As I was stripping down his bed and putting on clean sheets, this quirky little guy informed me, "This is the 17th time, I've thrown up in my whole life--counting these two."

Who counts?!

Of course, Graham does.

17 times!! wow Graham, that's pretty good. :) Shiloh puked at least 17 times a day for the first 6 months of her life. I remember when I went a whole day with out puke on me. Ahhh, such a special memory.

Hehehe, tell him all count stops when you get married, then you begin to forget things (like who was right or wrong the last time) hehhe.

I sure hope he feels better.

LOL...How cute. Reminds me of the show "Kids say the darnest things" with Bill Cosby. Hope he feels better.

God Bless you,

He will never forget a birthday aniversary or gift holiday. Some gal will be quite lucky.

That's so funny that he kept count! But I could see Corban doing that, too.
I'm sorry Graham is sick - I pray he recovers very, very soon!

I wish I could add sound cuz I was litterally laughing out loud. That Graham cracks me up. I love hime to death and all the stories about your kids. Tell us some of the ones about when Brendan was younger - those were so funny.
Thanks for making my day. I needed that. Hope all are well.

That's amazing that he can keep count of how many times he has done it. I can't, to old to remember such things. Hope he will get better soon.

we've had a lovely virus at our house this week..mind you the children all barfed in the commode..hubby spewed all over the walls?? What?? I had to refrain from yellin' "what in the world!" you're 40 and can't barf in the toilet?? of course being the good ole Southern Baptist submissive wife I am, I gave him a cool cloth, tucked him in on the couch, and cleaned up for him. All with a smile. :))

MY SISTER COUNTS! It drives me freaking crazy. She counts how many times she throws up and now she counts how many times Austin throws up.

"He threw up FIFTEEN times yesterday..." Do you not lose count, Melissa? Seriously?

Darlene, my oldest brother and I saved our throwing up for Christmas Eve every year. The excitement was just too much for us. My mom decided she'd rather us not run for the bathroom (we never made it) so she just layered old towels and hoped for the best. My husband is glad I grew out of that charming habit.

First of all, Happy Birthday! I missed it. I see you're still counting those and telling the world. Good for you. We should respect our elders, after all.

You mean you're not supposed to keep count?

I have to say, little Graham is a character. I don't even know how many times I have thrown up, but then again, I didn't keep a tally on it either :).

Blessings to you and yours...

LOL! Poor guy. I hope he feels better soon.

I don't know how many times I've thrown up, but I do keep track of how long it's been since the last time I threw up. *blush*

I've thrown up 35 times in my whole life - but then, again, I'm a lot older than Graham is!

Okay, bless his heart....(as we say in the south) I hope rest of your bunch stays well---& well away from the sick one!

On another note....if I don't stop trying to read everyone's blog while I am at work.....well you get the picture! But I just can't resist! WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE I BEEN???

It amazes my husband that I can find so much to read/do here! I love it!

Have a blessed week! Love everything you write! Enjoyed the Summer blog challenges! It was great fun and the best way to meet-online sistas of like faith!
