Ah, the joys of motherhood. I had just dropped my niece off at her tutoring when I heard an ominous noise coming from the car seat. An ominous noise that had a sploooortt in it. I glanced back and saw Precious Babykins with a veritable river of partially digested carrots and cereal coming forth from her mouth and all over herself, the carseat, and the back seat of the car. I tell you, when this kid decides to spew, she doesn't do it by halves.

So I pulled over in the next parking lot and made an effort to mop up the worst of it, but it really was an incredible amount of puke. I gave up after at least getting the biggest puddles sopped up and continued on home. I called Jack and warned him that I was bringing the Puke Queen home and so when I carried her inside by her armpits he was ready to take her. Fortunately the cleaning lady had just left and the kitchen sink was sparkling clean, therefore Jack and I stripped the kid down (oh, and she had also dropped an enormous poop in her diaper) and plopped her in the sink. So, Anna got her first shower with the sink sprayer, which worked nicely for getting the poop off of her too. I then spent the next twenty minutes trying to get all the puke off of the car seat. Thank god the cover can just be removed and thrown in the wash. Too bad all the straps can't.

Good grief... Jack is playing with her and holding her upside down. I yelled at him and told him that if he makes her puke again he is cleaning up every speck!
