Yes, Toddlers still puke.





As I discussed my day in full effect, I was appalled to learn that some people think, 
puking and snot, boogers and breaking stuff stops when the baby can waddle and wink. 
False, not true, this just isn't so! They are your babies forever, at each stage they grow. 
Burping and milk puke, shit up their back - the first nine months you learn there is no going back. 
Then they're a toddler, a wondering idiot. They will break or spill anything you have and there's no hiding it. 
Enough with the rhyming, it's all very real - when you wake up to soft cooing and a fever to feel. 
You crack into action and become nursemaid in seconds, your gut and your worry floods with anxiety and thickens... 
You learn their rhythm and come ready with a bowl - pulling back their hair and making them whole. 


We ate crackers all day, watched movies as it rained and Monday was spent getting over some sort of bug. Luckily it passed and only Stellan and a rug were hit.  But seriously, someone was surprised to hear that my four year old was sick and puking and I had to remind the non-parent that you are their nursemaid until they no longer live in your home... like, parenthood doesn't have a pause button.
