The Sellers house was hit by a most heinous stomch bug this week - within about 6 hours it took three of us down (Chad escaped), along with the other little girl our nanny watches, her dad, and the nanny's three children.
Fortunately, it was about 24 hours and we were on the mend. Sam still isn't eating much but hopefully he'll be back on track tomorrow. He's also refusing to wear clothes, but I don't think that's related! Remember when Gavin went through his no clothes phase? The one that lasted about 3 years? He would come home, or walk into Gamma's and strip down to his diaper/pull-up/boxers (yes the phase spanned all those undergarments!)
Otherwise the boys are doing well. Unfortunately Gavin only made it to 1 out of 4 nights of basketball camp. Next week he starts the summer refresher course for reading and math - 3 days a week for 2 weeks. His reading skills continue to improve - we have his old books out for Sam, and they are actually perfect for him to practice his reading with. It's so cute when Sam cuddles up to him and Gavin reads!
They are really gettiing along great.Sam is a full fledged toddler and a complete daredevil. He is driving us a little crazy because he is getting into everything and literally jumping off the furniture. But we wouldn't have it any other way :)
Sam is also obsessed with babies. He has a cabbage patch doll that he snuggles with, feeds a bottle, and kisses. He also loves looking at pictures of babies in his baby books, and on the yo-baby yogurt containers.

Reflux, Eczema, Puking....Oh My!
My poor Sam!
Sunday night he threw up all the food he'd eaten at dinner and the afternoon before. When he got to day care today he refused food and drink and then threw up the bottle he'd had at 6:30 am (6 hrs later). Chad took him to the Dr who was basically worthless and gave him a bottle of pedialyte and told him if he kept it down he could have milk then food.
He kept it down, he had milk and food and at 10:15 tonight it ALL came back up over the couch, ottoman and floor. ALL six ounces of milk came up following one measly cough.
Oh, and the rash that I thought was just dry skin that he's had for a couple months is eczema.
So, I'm starting to think he has a food allergy. He is fine otherwise, no fever, his stomach is just revolting. You can hear it start to gurgle and then everything comes up. I have an email in to his ped to see what he thinks. He's close enough to a year that I asked is we could try him on soy milk and eliminate dairy and see if it helps.
I just feel so bad for my little man...his tummy must be hurting a lot.
