This morning I left the house earlier than usual with the boys as I had an important meeting at work.  I was happy with the timing when I left, and the boys were drawing in their spiral notebooks and chatting about their drawings with each other in the backseat.  When we were just a few blocks from school, Logan suddenly said his neck hurt.  I suggested that maybe he had slept funny and I could just massage him when we arrived at school.  Logan was fine with the suggestion.  Then the next minute, he said he needed to “choke”.  Fortunately we were at a quiet residential street and I immediately pulled over.  The only thing I found to grab was the little trash bin and Logan threw up into it.  His entire breakfast came out and some dripped out between the gaps in the bin.  I grabbed a blanket to put under the bin but it was too late as a little bit of vomit got on his sweater.  I tried to clean up as well and quickly as I could.  Logan wanted to go home as he thought he was sick.  I reassumed him that it could be just too much breakfast he had since he had been feeling ok.  I proceeded to drop them off at school after changing his outer layer as I had to make the meeting, but I called Stuart to bring a backup uniform sweater and to check on Logan.  As I was driving I did recall Logan was drawing in the car which had not agreed with his motion sickness in the past either.  Stuart later confirmed Logan being fine at school; he was working on his board work when Stuart dropped off the sweater for him.

    Tonight, just right at the start of dinner, Logan complained of a pain in his left knee.  He could not get comfortable; he complained so much that he finally sat on my laps to finish up his food.  Logan was not happy putting any weight on the leg so he just sat the rest of the evening with us reading to him.  He then had to be carried into the bath and into bed.  While we were reading, Logan even started to tear when I touched his leg.  He started to cry and wanted daddy.  Stuart spent a little time with him before Logan fell asleep. 

     We recalled Logan having leg pain another time recently which disappeared in the morning.  We truly hope that tonight was another incidence of this possible growing pain.  We will see how he is in the morning.
