My "Coolest kid in the world"


Every parent feels that their child is the most amazing, wonderful creature on the face of this planet. At least the parents who don't need to be shot do anyway. I have to say that I'm jealous of his manly facial hair. I am however concerned with his growing disdain for the British Parliament. His going on about gun powder and plots and what-not is unsettling sometimes.

I'll take least fun things to do at 6 a.m. for a hundred Alex...

Just spent a good 30 minutes on vomit duty. My poor little boy woke up crying for me and a mad sprint for the bathroom ensued. The launch wasn't all that spectacular but my son has the most unfortunate habit of what I like to call "Full barrel vomiting". Meaning it comes out his mouth AND nose, with gusto I might add. The majority of the time spent was just trying to get his nose cleared. It seems that when you mix pink lemonaide kool-aid with fish sticks (not my decision mind you) you end up with a volatile result. He's was so pitiful sitting there shaking and trying not freak out about his stopped up nose. He hates getting nasty stuff on him and I know it was killing him to have the vomit inside his nose, especially with it smelling as bad as it did. 

As I was typing this there was a second act to his performance and we got into his room in time to catch the end of it. He handled this bout better than the first, I think he was more awake, he was a bit more chipper about the whole thing. Hopefully he's done, being on vomit watch makes for a rather arduous sleep schedule...
