All morning, John has been complaining about his stomach. This is normal, not necessarily his stomach, but J-boy is a whiner and can be dramatic. E and M...not so much. They can get hurt and just brush it off. M is good at running too fast for her legs and falling on her stomach and momentum rolls her up on to her face and we get nothing from her. She just gets back up without a cry. E has broken two bones and both times we waiting at least a day to take her to the hospital because it didn't seem serious. J-boy is a different story. He's often screaming and crying. Our Swahili teacher used to say, J anapenda kulia. (J likes to cry.) So anyway, this morning, we told J is he wasn't going eat before church, he wouldn't get a snack during church and would have to wait until lunch. He insisted on not eating.
We were all ready for church and had just walked out our gate and J-boy threw up. Hmmmm....I want to say I feel bad and I do, but seriously, he whines all the time so I'm not sure how I would've known. Regardless, he's now watching BOZ and drinking Sprite. Unlike E, J-boy really likes soda. The kids had never had soda until we moved here. E doesn't like the "spicy-ness" and J loves it. So, he's watching his favorite show and getting soda...not so bad.
I'm thinking I should find the story of the boy who called wolf and read it to J-boy several times.
When we were skyping this morning, I thought John acted a little funny or different; when I talked to him I wondered if he was tired; now I know, he was not feeling well. Poor guy. I hope they all are well and are getting a good night sleep. Love you all!
