throwing up

I woke at 4 am to hear the sound of a small child crying. I went in to see how she was and in a largely befuddled state managed to help Lily just as she was starting to sick up. Not a big one, just enough to mean bedsheets and warm top needed cleaning. I took her back to our bed and she slept between Fi and me.

Nothing like waking at 4 to remind you that it's the coldest winter in 21 years.

Ruby really wanted to go back to school though, so she did.

"sick up"? That is an odd Americanism!
