Tonight was memorable for sure!
To begin, it was Eli's first real Christmas Concert for school.
He has been practicing the songs and motions for weeks, even teaching me.
He could NOT wait for the concert tonight and even willingly took a nap!
We arranged for Miss Kaitlyn to watch Lukey since the concert was at 7:15 p.m.
Eli happily got in his "Christmas sweater" as he calls it and hammed it up for pictures :-)
Seriously, most adorable 4 year old ever!!!
We piled in the car and headed to LCS (Alli's school) where he was having his concert.
Though it was crowded, we got some great seats just a few rows back and anxiously waited.
All was going great! I even got to visit with my college roommate who was there to see her niece.
Then, it was about to begin and wouldn't you know, Eli was the first on stage!!!
Yep, top row of the riser on the end.
We had a feeling that wasn't going to end well as Eli loves to wiggle.
Well, he started off GREAT, having fun singing and doing the motions ~ such a little ham.
Then he started acting funny . . . we thought he was being goofy at first.
BUT, then he was really acting strangely and rubbing his eyes, even swaying.
Finally, the teacher standing next to him asked if he was okay and his eyes started rolling back.
She immediately grabbed him and brought him down.
Then, beneath the legs and risers, we saw our son vomiting on stage :(
I immediately ran up to the stage to get him.
His assistant teacher (who had been standing behind him the whole time) and I took him to the bathroom. She said he likely locked his knees and was too hot because of the lights.
I carried him back in and he sang his favorite song "Feliz Navidad" from the audience.
Poor guy!!!
He did fine in the car but vomited again as soon as we got home and then again around 11 p.m.
Looks like the stomach flu :(
"Lucky" for Eli, Uncle Z got the whole thing on video :-)
Fortunately, Eli wasn't bothered by the whole thing at all, just happy to snuggle.
Love this little man so much!!!
