Been there, done that...got the puke covered t-shirt. :-)

I hope Quinn gets better and you guys get some sleep.

Best wishes!

Ah, the joys of sproglets. As long as you can master your own gag reflex, and not barf on the child...

Damn, "regular" puke is bad enough; the seafood variety is almost toxic...

Poor little guy! :(

Hope he's feeling better.

... seafood lasagna???

What part of you was surprised? ;)

existingthing,
Seafood lasagna is quite a wonderful recipe and Quinn loves it, in fact. Thank you.
I think that I inadvertently brought home a stomach flu from one of the health care settings in which I work, but was not affected myself due to my years working in child- and health care. Unfortunately, at almost 3 years, he is no longer receiving the benefits of breast-feeding.
C'est la vie.

I remember all three of my kids and myself getting the stomach flu at the same time while living on Kadena AB in Okinawa. My husband's plane had been diverted North due to a typhoon, and all four of us had it coming out of both ends. My eldest daughter, five at the time, had fallen asleep in bed with me, and woke me up by vomiting in my hair.

Good times!

At least the stomach flu made potty training my twins very easy. No anal-retentiveness there!

Hopefully, it's just a bug. When I was a kid, some seafood would give me the heaves. Turned out to be an allergy to seafood in general. A pot sticker fried in fish oil has me heaving within twenty minutes, plus breaking out with hives. A friend, about 40 yrs old, got rushed to the ER twice before they figured out he had suddenly developed an allergy to shellfish. Thought the first one was due to peanuts.

I've held my kids while we both yakked together, and then cleaned up when done. Joys of parenthood!

They are our kids.... we'd walk through fire for them, so a little vomit is no big deal.

Now... a runny green diaper.... THAT is a big deal. I have gutted deer without a qualm, blood to the shoulder, but a really bad diaper can make me projectile in an instant.

Once held a kid to the changing table with one hand while holding the trash can with the other, heaving. Poor kid laughed.... sheesh.

Robin.. can I persuade you to post the recipe? You've quite sold me!

"Robin.. can I persuade you to post the recipe? You've quite sold me!"

Seconded... Now I'm interested... :)

I hated when that stuff happened. As a 30 something parent with a decade of school teaching (and exposure to every germ known to man) I felt so damn helpless when the little ones got sick and I couldn't just reach out and absorb all their pain and suffering.

Even though I knew that once exposed to some flu bug or oter they would build their own immunity, it still hurt to see them have to go through the stages.

(For some reason the runny green diapers never bothered me. But that first one after switching to some food other than breast milk...had my wife running for the garbage can herself while I laughed. Good memories.)

Hope he's feeling much better by now.

my daughter shat behind a television screen in the local electrical shop. She was only 4, but we left quite soon afterwards, and didn't tell them i'm ashamed to say.
