My sick Emma

I went to bed last night knowing I had a ton of stuff to do today. Emma was the first one to come into my bed last night. Since Dan was out of town I told her to go to the bathroom and then get in. She did and snuggled down and we went back to sleep. Much later Aliya came into bed snuggled in and went to sleep. Around 6:30am Emma woke up telling me her tummy hurt. I started to rub it and she said it was hurting all night. I told her to try and go to the bathroom and see if that would help. She came back saying she felt much better. And we went back to sleep for a little while. Dallin woke up around 7:30 and came and woke emma and aliya up to come and watch tv with him. I rolled over not wanting to get up yet. Next emma came to me telling me she still didn't feel good and was going to take a shower. Surprised that she didn't want help I once again layed back down, only to have emma come back in and say she changed her mind she wanted a bath. Emma and Dallin both know how to start a bath so I slowly got up and went to the bathroom. Dallin ran up the stairs and said Emma was throwing up in the bathtub. I ran down and she was standing up saying she still didin't feel good. I started the shower for her and then ran and got her a towel and also picked up Lilly who was awake now (with a nasty diaper). Emma got out feeling better. Dallin and aliya where yelling at the tv because diego was asking them to repeat what he said. I had to laugh. Lilly inspite of the nasty diaper was excited about life! Emma decided food didn't sound good and went to lay on the couch. Dallin and Aliya and lilly had banana's and cereal for breakfast. I thought it would be easy on the stomach.

Since then Emma has thrown up 3 more times. She knows her body so before she would even say something she was in the bathroom hugging the toilet. she would come out and lay back down. She is very independant though. she went and got herself a throw up bowl and then came and sat back down on the couch. all I could help with was holding her hair while she threw up. She is soooo beautiful evenwhile she is sick. I am amazed as she gets older how she goes from this crazy little baby to my amzingly helpful big girl! She can not tell a lie either! The minute she does something wrong she has to come and tell you! Yesterday she got into my makeup and before she came down the stairs she was saying ," Mom don't be mad!". She is compassionate, loving and works to help others. And She is a talker like no other! She is very stubborn though. But I try and remember that we want that! We want her to not follow the crowd and to be willing to be different and stand up for herself!

She is feeling a little better! Hopefully she can stop throwing up and feel great! I love my Emma and am very thankful I have her!!!!
