Adventures in grocery shopping

Overall Logan is doing great. We had a pretty good extra day to the weekend from the holiday. The only thing we had to do was go to the grocery store because that little chore kept being put off throughout Saturday and Sunday. So, off I go to the store with both kids. It is great that we do not have to be so careful, and I can actually go to the grocery store with Logan. It is the little things that get taken from you during an ordeal like this, that sometimes make you feel paralyzed. Just going to pick up food for your family takes coordination of schedules so one parent can be home while the other goes to the store. But, thankfully, now Logan's numbers are pretty good so he can go out. We still wash hands like crazy and I wipe down all the groceries with a disinfecting wipe when we get home, just to be safe. 

Anyway, off we go...but after we arrived, Logan kept complaining of his stomach hurting. So, we took several trips to the bathroom to no avail. I even put him in the little seat in the cart, which I rarely do, but he was tired. Then, as we were almost finished, and on the last aisle (which, incidentally, is the FARTHEST from the bathroom) he whines. I look down, and he has thrown up all down himself. So, back we go to the bathroom. I do not know how he did it, but somehow it was contained to only on his jacket. I cleaned him up, put his jacket into a plastic produce bag and in my purse. Then he seemed perfectly happy, of course. We picked up the last of our groceries, paid, and he was even feeling good enough to ride the horse at checkout. I still have no idea what made him sick, I guess this is just another random puking incident. But, as you can clearly see, he recovered just fine. I am in awe of his strength and perseverance. Nothing, not even puking on his favorite Spiderman jacket, can hold him back. (On the bright side, Spiderman is now recovered and clean, with no ill effects. It must be due to the radioactive spider venom fortifying him.)
