Okay, so I guess I won't win, "Mother of the Year" award . This morning while I was fixing EB's breakfast, he was crawling around on the floor like he always does. After about 60 seconds, I realized that he was being awfully quiet (radar goes up). I rounded the corner and much to my surprise...., and disgust...., I found my sweet, darling 9 month old beautiful baby boy, with a handful of cat THROW UP in his precious little hand making it's way quickly up to his mouth. Before I could get it out of his hand, he shoveled it with 4 fingers into his mouth....., and SWALLOWED (it was fresh throw up so he didn't have to chew)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He smiled after he swallowed and went about his business of exploration.
I almost threw up.
I realized today for the 1st time, "Game On"! No more sitting around cooing at us!

Erin, your little boy is precious! I remember when my son, Edward, was crawling, he did the same thing with dog throw up. I just about died! It's comforting to know that another child has done the same thing!

oh my goodness! i think you win mommy of the year for being willing to post this!!! i LOVE your honesty! well...i have to admit. i'd rather it be throw-up than from the litter box! i think along w/ the dirt and other stuff our kiddos will eat, he'll be just fine! :)
That is funny and gross at the same time. I know he will be fine though. And I think it is hilarious that he went about his business after swallowing. He is a brave boy. I would have thrown up myself. :)
And don't worry you still get a medal for being an awesome mommy because you are awesome! And I love that you posted this story.
Bradley ate coffee grounds out of the trashcan a few weeks ago- GAME ON indeed!
