"Lie down with me," he had whined, and I happily complied, while Daniel Tiger or Dinosaur Train droned on. He hadn't thrown up in a day by that point, and I loved how he'd learned that having his back gently scritched helped him feel better, the way he'd plant himself face-down and whine into the couch, "Scritch me."
