Aside from the obvious, such as barfing, you will easily ascertain that your twin toddlers have the latest and greatest intestinal virus when you see these signs:

• your toddlers wake from a 2-1/2 hour nap at 4:50 pm and by 7:10 pm are asking to go to bed
• your tooth-brushing loving toddlers stand at the sink with brushes in hand, looking miserable and refusing to open their mouths
• the <ahem> clingy, hard-to-get-to-sleep one asks to go back to her own bed when you are holding and rocking her post-barf (second round)
• this same toddler lets you put her in bed, pull up her blankets and leave the room with nary a cry, fuss or whimper
• the next morning, your toddlers lie quietly on the couch watching PBS Kids while you update your blog

Today brings many offerings to the gods to keep the boys, especially Davey, from catching this bug. I am not expecting to get through the day without a phone call from Davey’s school.
