- Have a Toddler with a head cold (poor little guy)
- Put him to bed - give them Pamol, vicks and Kiwi Herb Destuff
- Toddler wakes up five hours later
- Check on Toddler
- Toddler has been a little sick and is upset (understandably)
- Pick Toddler up and give Mummy Cuddles
- Change pillow slip - Pillow fine, just a little spillage
- Try to put Toddler down
- Toddler wants a bottle
- Try to give Toddler warmed water
- Toddler is not having a bar of it
- Try to convince Toddler to have the warmed water as if he has milk, he might be sick again
- Toddler wants milk
- Sit down and give Toddler more cuddles and try to get them to have the warmed water
- "NOOOOOO! Milk"
- Toddler gets a bottle of extra warmed milk (hope that it won't bother him too much)
- Give Toddler more medicine (as directed on bottle - he's due a dose)
- Put Toddler back to bed
- Sing "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly"
- Go back to lounge
- Toddler wakes up half hour later
- Toddler has been sick
- Pick Toddler up and give cuddle until they are much calmer
- Strip sick coated PJ's off
- Clean Toddlers face and neck with warm cloth
- Pull out warm blanket and wrap Toddler in it
- Toddler looks at the blanket "What??? Where??!" is said in wonder (Take it that he likes this particular blanket and is wondering where it has come from)
- Ask Toddler to sit next to "Big Ben" (a giant white teddy bear that used to be Mummy's)
- Toddler sits next to bear "Hi Ben - Sick" (points to self) "Yuck" (points to bed)
- Agree with Toddler and tell Toddler to stay with Ben while you sort the bed out
- Check bed - only pillow's and bottom sheet have sick on them
- Strip pillow slips and bottom sheet off - put in laundry
- Underlay dry - opt to use top sheet on bottom and just blankets on top until the morning
- Make bed
- Collect new pillow from wardrobe
- Toddler excited that he has a pillow like Mummy's
- Tell Toddler "Goodnight moon" (accompanied by the "Ispy Quilt" Granny made him)
- Say goodnight and give a kiss
- Toddler sleeps until 7am!
