Avoiding the Technicolor Yawn
First of all, I'd like to thank Raging Wombat for being horribly sick and reminding me of that funny phrase used by a professor I once had to describe vomiting.
Tonight we went to a little spring party at Alan's school. We were a little nervous because last time we were there for the Halloween Party, Amara had her first and only puking incident. Yikes. She puked twice all over the floor and I carried a partially clothed 2 year-old in the dark to my car, all while 9 months pregnant! (Alan was cleaning up the mess!) Well, we certainly didn't want to be known as the puking family, and fortunately we got through tonight without any spewage. When we got home, Amara told me that her favorite part was the candy, and that the giant easter bunny there was crazy.
Amara also discovered the magic of sticky tack today. The blue gum-like substance... I showed her how it worked by sticking it to one of her play plates and sticking it to the wall. Well, she's in bed now, and we currently have two pennies, a paper heart, a plate and paper stuck to the wall. There's also stuff all over the floor next to the wall that has fallen off. She tried to hang everything today, including her dolls and Ethan's teether.

When Mom and I had been married about two weeks and were in our first apartment, my best frined came to visit. He brought his little boy and asked me if I wanted to hold him. Trying to be nice, I said, "Sure." Almost as soon as I picked him up he spewed all over me. This kid was a projectile vomiter and when he opened his mouth I imagine it looked like something from the Exorcist. My friend, who must have anticipated the outcome, thought it was the funniest thing her ever saw and reminded me of the incident for years.
In that same apartment, I had used sticky tack to place some photos of all the prophets on our wall. But it didn't last long. They started coming down within days. Mom and I had a laugh about all the "fallen prophets" in the Church.
I'm always happy to bring up puking. You're more than welcome
