Food Poisening!

Posted by Vulnadia on Jun 14, 2009 at 02:23 PM So we haven't had Cane's at our house in absolute WEEKS! So, what was my eldest thinking the other day? I know better than to try and step into the mind of any 14 year old, but I really do wonder what possessed him to decide to dig through the fridge, find and locate a tiny container of Cane's sauce, then actually GIVE IT TO MY BABIES with their lunch? After all, my kids are the ones who insist upon the same lunch each day without fail. Even when you go out to lunch, they must first be fed the old faithful so that their day isn't ruined. So why oh why would you stray from the usual tiny ketchup spot in one well of the plate and the tsp of applesauce in the other as dip? What was he thinking? Why? Well we discovered the end result after a nice long afternoon at Kid City the other day. We got home and unloaded and inside just fine. The babies were exhausted, but still relatively in good moods after visiting the inside park. Daddy even had the pizza cooked and served and ready to go for them when we got home. All was going soo very well until I discovered Kaiden crying softly with his head in one of the empty dining room chairs that sits along one wall. I went to scoop him up and cuddle him thinking he was only tired when I discovered that the chair next to him was full of spew. I picked him up and he verped up another mouthful of it all over my shirt and he began to cry harder. Poor little guy! It didn't dawn on me what was going on, either, until I went to wash the lunch dishes and found the telltale remnants of the Cane's sauce on his plate. Now, Kaiden loves his Cane's sauce to the point where he will actually pick up the cup and drink it, given the chance, which does NOT come often if I can help it! Poor baby, he must have had quite a bit of it. He continued spewing on me until I put him to bed. In the morning, his bed was spew-free, but once I got him downstairs, he asked for his shoes, so I set him in the hallway just in front of my bedroom door while I acquired his for him. i came back to find him curled up in a ball on the floor with his blankie underneath him. Apparently, he was trying NOT to get his blanket dirty, so he had curled his body over it in an attempt at keeping it clean. He insisted upon my washing his blanket even though he had managed to miss it entirely, favoring the hallway floor instead. My poor baby! This went on all day Friday and into Saturday. He still ate and drank just fine. Poor guy, he had the most ickiest, nastiest, GREENEST diaper anyone had ever seen on Saturday. Today is Sunday, and he seems much happier and more jovial. He has been running around more and the diapers are no longer icky! No more fountain impersonations spewing forth, either! Lucky us! Unfortunately, we went to Cane's for lunch yesterday. You can be certain that I will NOT be saving any sauce for later!!!
