Yesterday the vomiting began and I was in no shape to monitor my very active 18 mo DD. I took my almost 4yo DS and talked to him seriously that mommy was sick and I needed his help with Jillie today...help her stay out of trouble, etc.
He was a gem all day! He wasn't overly bossy but he was able to yell to me when she pushed the dining room chair into the kitchen to get to things on the counter, etc.
As I was taking Jillie up for her nap, Luke comes up to me and points his finger at me and said, "Now remember, if you need to throw up, don't do it in Jillie's bed. Go to the bathroom and use the potty" I'm still laughing over that one.
