Wyatt can't catch a break he got some stomach bug and isn't feeling well...... again.
Kailyn's last ballet class was yesterday. She had me make the Minnie Mouse candy apples for all her teachers, which she was so excited to do since "Wyatt ALWAYS gets to give them to his teachers but now I get to!" But when Wyatt woke up yesterday morning with stomach pain and as the day went on a fever and nausea, I mentioned to her the possibility that we may not get to go. She was heartbroken and cried a bit. Upon hearing this her older brother chimed in that he'd be okay and that she won't have to miss it. I had done her hair in a special braid we painted her nails earlier so she looked like "a movie star"and I tried to arrange someone to sit with Wyatt for 30minutes, since he hadn't thrown up and was acting okay. Everyone was busy or out of town. So we attempted to all go together, Wyatt seemed fine and kept reassuring us he was ok but we didn't make it out of the garage before he got sick. Poor guy, I felt awful. Kailyn assuming we were still going after he was done puking was so sad to find out it was not so. This was her third class to miss because Wyatt was sick and he can't help it he's just a sickly kid. I of course felt terrible for trying to make him go and for her missing her class and as I held her as she cried I just felt even worse. But after I got her calmed down and got Wyatt out of the bath and got Gus situated afar from all the puke that he was dying to watch me clean up (I think it was because I kept telling him to stay away, it made it all that more intriguing) I realized it was okay, I failed that day but tomorrow is a new day, right?
Luckily everyone is feeling better today and Wyatt might even make it back to school tomorrow, thanks to Tosh who saved the day and brought over some much needed supplies (toothpaste, tylenol, oxiclean spray, etc) thank you so much, Tosh!

Oh my gosh! You are anything BUT a failing mother. You are one of the best moms I know!! I hope he feels better soon - it's the worst to have sick kids and other kids that don't really understand why they can't do things. :(
Wyatt being sick has NOTHING to do with your mothering and whether it is good or not. Glad he is feeling better! Life isn't always wonderful, and little children need to learn that lesson occasionally. Still doesn't make it easy to having to say "sorry we can't today", though!
Ok that story just broke my heart and I feel your pain. I echo the others yes dear you are an outstanding, remarkable mother. I am sorry you carry so much alone I wish your circle of trusted family and friends was larger. My address sure doesn't help that fact.
