Alex had left for a week-long business trip. So with just the kids, I let them have cereal for dinner. Each year around this time we let Tyler get one box of Booberry cereal. Both kids enjoyed it and following dinner I let them try on their costumes which had arrived in the mail. All smiles. Then we headed upstairs to take off the costumes in order to keep them clean and nice for Halloween. As I lifted Jenna up to her changing table, I saw the look. You know the one...the one that says, I'm about to barf. Yes, she did. All over my new cream sweater, all over her brand new costume and all over the cream carpet. l put her down to assess the situation and then I saw it again. The look. I raced her to the bathroom across the hall but that only succeeded in leaving a trail of blue from her room to the bathroom. Tears. Screams as Tyler tried to warn me that Ruby is now tasting the blue carpet spots. And then my gritches that of course this would happen on the first night Alex is out of town. But we pulled it together.
I gave Jenna a bowl and demonstrated how she should use it in case she felt sick again. This is where the laughter came. She kept sticking her tongue out and gesturing throw up. This is only cute when an adorable two-year-old does it!
