"No medal for mommy"

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

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!

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.
