(Warning- Andrea this one might not be for you)
If life is a test, I think we passed our pop quiz today.
We had the Dude today and soon after Steve got home from work, said Dude, started puking. Complete projectile vomiting. It caught us quite off guard and we definitely had a look of panic in our eyes. But, we were able to stay calm clean him up and strip him down after the first round, then bathe him after round two (bonus points for the tub being a fairly contained area to clean if round 3 came). We stretched out the bath for a long time based on this (plus he was having fun).
Finally, we hung out with him a little bit more and unfortunately round 3 came. So we decided to bundle him up and take him home (we had him because our SIL was sick and Steve's brother was OOT). While I got the vehicle ready Steve was able to get the dude into his snow suit all by himself. : )
Why am I talking about all this? Because it feels awesome to know that when the time comes with our own kids that we can handle it. We can stay calm and handle the bodily fluids. I know that we can work as a team and deal with anything that comes. Now when the time comes I know that we won't be able to bring our kids somewhere else for night but we'll handle that when we need to.
Until next time!
Cheers!

OH man that is quite the test! I'm sure it's harder to handle too when it's not your own kids. Glad you guys were able to deal with it calmly though. And hey! There is always Gramma to take the kiddies off your hands when needed ;)
Thanks for the warning. :) Although I still read it anyway!!
And hey, you stuck in there for 3 rounds!! Impressive! I don't think I would've waited past round 2 (you know -- once it was obvious it wasn't a fluke one-time thing).
We wouldn't have stuck out that many rounds if we didn't have him because Rachel was sick and Dustin was out of town. We felt so bad at even the thought of Rachel having to deal with him throwing up while she was dealing with that herself.
Pam- hopefully in the future our baby grandmas will be happy to come help with our kids when they are sick. : )
