We'll we have experienced another official rite of passage into parenthood. Griffin had his first bout with a stomach bug of some sort on Sunday. He had been fine--we got home from church, had lunch and went out to play in the yard for a little bit. We got back inside and were getting ready to go to the store and Griffin started complaining of his head hurting. I had gone upstairs to get some medicine for him. Mike was playing with him in the mean time (trying to distract him because he was upset and we weren't sure why). Mike had him lifted up in the air (as he frequently does) and heard some unusual gurgling sounds. Mike quickly figured out what was going on and put Griffin down--but the damage had been done...Grifin was covered from head to toe (literally). Not a pretty site. And, the poor little boy had no idea what was going on. Somehow, through all of this, Mike managed to stay clean (which I think is a great feat, considering he was holding him up in the air).
Griffin spent most of the afternoon laying by mommy and sleeping. He still had a fever when he went to bed, but was already back to eating some by that point. He stayed home from daycare on Monday (as a precaution)...but was back to his old self.
All in all, I'd say we were fortunate. I'm sure we will have many more of these types of adventures to come in the future!

Glad to hear that Griffin is feeling better, and sounds like Mike really dodged a nasty bullet-what Daddy skills!
