In my SuperHero Mom Speed I was able to grab the garbage can, thus saving myself from washing the sheets before I absolutely had too.....from that time on Austin was sick. He is seen pictured on the couch in his no-vomit-zone.....Austin has never, ever been sick. This boy spit-up so much as a baby, I thought he would never get the flu...but today was the day.
Saturday night we went to a really fun party, and Austin was playing with a little boy named Joey. Well, around 9:30, Joey puked like I have never seen! I had no idea that stomachs on little kids held so much (well, maybe they don't).
Anyways...today was a strange day, because even though I've been parenting for 4 years, this was something new, I had to call the doctor and find out about the B.R.A.T. diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast).
The best thing was that I finally got to start a tradition that we had when we were kids. Austin got a special toy today because he was sick. A Buzz Lightyear action figure that he is clutching in the picture. My mom says that when we were little, we got toys, but my brother was always throwing up so he got a lot more then me.....hmmmm.....doesn't quite seem fair, does it? But really it was.....

Oh man, I know I shouldn't laugh but your "Superhero Mom Speed" and the "no-vomit zone" commentary is just killing me! I also particularly like the precautionary draping action all around him on the couch. Dang!
Sorry you're sick Austin! Poor sweetie. And awesome mom skills Stacey.
Take care!
Yes it was rather exciting this morning having Austin come into the bedroom and hurl.
It wasn't easy tho' to see our little boy sick and not feeling well, but it was going to happen sooner or later.
Stacey did do a great job of being (super)Mom.
I wish I had gotten toys when I was a kid for being sick. How lucky can you get.
Austin I missed you today while I was at work. I wish I could have taken the day off and just hung out with you on the couch. I love you buddy. Daddy.
