1 sick child + last of birthday carrot cake + 3/4 very large orange + 1 lemon fish pill = first ever non-spitup vomiting.
Lesson learned.
Please chime in with your life lessons (especially as pertains to toddlers and/or food and/or illness) so others (eg me) may gain from your experience! Or so we can laugh, which lightens our load, or so we can commiserate, which lightens yours. You know you have a story or three to share.
Our house is infested with asian lady beetles. Not until today did I realize a 10 month would consider eating one. Now I’ve got to find the attachment for the vacuum and suck them up from all the corners!
Is there an acronym for “gasped out loud”? Because I just did so. That’s awful, Jen! Good luck!
Jen — ewwww! That reminds me of two things (easily squicked out readers should skip this comment):
1) We went camping in the midwest several years ago, before we’d heard about “manbugs” (aka asian lady beetles aka ladybug lookalikes). The roof and windows of the outhouse there was literally covered with the things — there must have been thousands in just that little toilet room. It was really, really creepy — and that was when we thought they were plain old lady bugs!
2) My nephew likes to eat dogfood — disgusting, right? But there are worse things, such as when he found a piece of dogfood lying on the kitchen floor… which turned out to have 8 legs, and still be moving. His mom just got to him in time, but for an arachnophobe like me (love spiders, just have this horrible irrational fear of them), even the thought is beyond squicky.
Anyway, thanks for sharing! I think. ;)
what is a lemon fish pill?

Part of our ongoing effort to prevent our child going quite as bonkers as I did (plus, if WE are going to take pills, then he simply insists that HE is as well. and for some inexplicable reason, he likes them; no, they’re not supposed to be chewable, but try telling him that!). :)
