James...Miss those days? I don't.

Molly...Sometimes the obvious escapes you in the pre-vomit moments.

Vance...Nope. I don't think so. Remember those pre-kid days when everything created panic?

Surely part of him realizes that if you can become blase about children vomiting, he will one day be in that place too. Seeing your reaction to it should be comforting in a strange way. Now, if you as a parent of older children had a panicked freak-out when your child vomited, I would think that would be much worse.

You gotta love a good puke story! Last week I was driving and across the road I spied a woman pulled over yanking her child (probably 8) out of the car. You could see this kid was about to chuck a load and promptly did all over his mom as she was running with him trying to get behind the car. My daughter looked at me and said, 'Didn't she know better? She should have picked him up facing away from her!' The quick scene was such a flash of what parenting 'really' is!

That made me laugh. I can remember not too long ago being that wide eyed expectant father.

I was never the freaked out one; dunno why, because I saw it all with my niece and nephew.

But yeah, toddler puke is brutal. Just, brutal.

OMG! I can totally relate to this! My two horrifying vomit stories:
1. Playing with my (then) 6 month old by holding him above my head. He proceeded to vomit IN MY OPEN MOUTH. Lovely.
2. While rocking my (then) 10 month hold, I hear the gorge about to come out of his mouth. I can't reach the trash can and I don't want vomit all over the carpet so I turn him towards me and he proceeds to vomit all over my face, hair, and, worst of all, down my bra!

I shudder just remembering these proud moments of parenthood!

Ewwwwww!!!!!

The worst part of the incident, which DGB kindly left out, was that Sprout had just eaten lots of cheddar popcorn and a large cup of mango puree. It was spectacular.

Oh yes, I remember it well. When my now 23 year old son was 3, he said his tummy hurt, so what do I do? I pick him up which allowed him to throw up all over the side of my face, my hair and my shirt which was unfortunately, a turtle neck. His father who witnessed the whole thing thought it was hilarious, me not so much. But I don't think that compares to my 5 year old daughter having a major blowout in her diaper in a restaurant and the horror of discovering after I had stripped her down in the bathroom, that I had no diapers with me. Let's just say that I was very happy that they had brown paper towels in the restroom instead of a blow dryer.

There is nothing like vomit or being thrown up on to give you your badge as a parent.

Andrea...When it comes to vomit stories, I tend to believe them. Since the ones I tell are 100% true. And horrifying.

Ah yes, the cup the hands under the chin stories. It's a bit like the I-caught-the-biggest-fish stories...but you know, with vomit. You really can't quite believe what you're hearing.

Poor guy. I figure kids really don't start the official barf thing till about 2-3. He's got some time to get up to speed courtesy of baby spit-up, ease into the whole fun process.
