"Ick up"

An eventful, yet uneventful day.
Nathan had an awful night. Most nights are far from perfect with him but this was up there is the realm of "holy cow, what is WRONG!"  He cried and wanted to be held for hours in the middle of the night, 3 times.  Yes, multiple hours, multiple times.  In other words, I hardly slept and only functioned during the day thanks to excessive amounts of caffeine.
We had (our first) Music and Motion class this morning which I dragged this poor child to thinking he just needed to get out and wake up a little.  Instead, Maura clapped and rocked and banged instruments while Nathan either lay in my arms with his head on my shoulder or yanked on my arm begging me to "ick up".
The rest of the day went pretty much the same.  He didn't want to lay down unless it was on top of me.  I held him the majority of the day and poor Miss M had to play on her own.  Luckily daddy came home early and I took a nap!
After a quick vomit and bath and Children's Motrin things got a lot better.  Half a piece of toast and a cup of juice have stayed down and he moved independently from me before bed.  Hoping for a better night for us all, there should be no such thing as a sick child.
