Vomit

So in case you are up to date, MM is potty trained (YIPEE!). Last Friday Caroline or Liney as we call her was very upset, so I called MM's school to pick her up by car. Thinking I was such a savvy mom, I asked if they could make sure she would go potty before I picked her up insuring a safe ride home.

Since it was a quick pick up, I just grabbed my purse and a zip lock bag of cheerios. When I arrived at MM's school a few minutes early, I jumped in the back of the minivan to talk to the twins. That is when it all happened.

Caroline vomited all the contents she consumed that morning while sitting in her car seat. After she finished, I realized I had no diaper bag. However, I did have a container of wipes in the trunk placed there this past summer after MM vomited at Legal Seafood's (another story I know). So I undressed Caroline (while standing on Park Street with cars, cabs, etc passing me by), grabbed Sarah's blanket to lay down on Caroline's car seat. After cleaning Liney up, I threw her in the car seat with just a diaper on. At this point MM arrives, so I put her change of clothes (a pair of pants) over Liney.

As I drove away, I noticed not only that my hands smelled of vomit, but my jeans had visible signs also. Why do I bother showering at the beginning of my day?

Have you ever cleaned a car seat up from vomit? Not easy. But we did make it home without MM going potty in the car seat. And polish Liz wonders, "with all her vomiting during pregnancy, did we think anything else would happen?" (after witnessing the drying car seat on the porch) Yes, vomit is the norm at Chez Sawyer.

I used to hate going into frat houses in college because of this very thing happening so often, and now I live in the house of vomit. go figure....
