Now the vomit...can you get Vicks Vapor Rub over there, now that stuff is liquid gold, smear a little bit of that under your nose and gad damn you won't smell shit (no pun intended). I used it with my 2nd pregnancy when my first born was still in nappies (aka Diapers) and I thought that vomiting on my own child probably constitutes abuse in some way..... You are an amazing man!!!! :-) Hi Matt,

My two kids, 4 and 6 and my husband just had the stomach bug a few weeks ago. And just as they were getting better I got it! Ugh! Anyways, a very bland diet is the way to go. Gatorade for the first 12 hours. Start with a teaspoon to see if they can keep that down and work your way up. After that saltines, dry toast. BRAT diet is the way to go. No milk for at least a few days. Glad she is feeling better and hopefully you don't get it. I feel you on cleaning up the pukies.

I seriously think it takes some sort of engineering degree to get all the clips and straps and everything back on right. Not to mention all the little holes that puke and everything else goes into. Best to just hose the thing down and let it dry in the sun! I hope that you and little Maddy have an awesome trip to Minnesota and that you have a wonderful Christmas. She's going to be SO much fun this year!!! Shit…there is nothing like having to put a car seat back together after washing the cover.

That doesn't pay when you work in a hospital. Im glad Madeline is feeling better though! I just started reading your blog (like yesterday). I never thought I could feel so heart broken and smile so much at the same time. Madeline also might be the cutest little girl I've ever seen. You have truley mastered the adorable little pigtails.
