Grandpa, Grandma & the stomach flu

2 good things about this weekend, and 1 not so good thing. The good - Grandpa Reed & Grandma Roz came to visit. The bad - Eli came down with the stomach flu (or something else that caused large amounts of vomit and gross poops). Eli was still in pretty good spirits through most of it. We went to the park, played puzzles, read books, and sang songs. Things sort of took a turn for the worse after breakfast. Eli was super chipper and ate a whole bagel at Donkin Donuts. We then when to pick up some supplies at the market. During this time, some guy walked past Jon and said "hey your kid is throwing up all over himself". Low and behold the entire bagel resurfaced while Eli was riding in his stroller. The rest of the day consisted of Eli quietly sitting on my lap and/or sleeping.

It's amazing to me #1 how much vomit can come out of such a little person and #2 that it really doesn't faze me. It really wasn't even that gross just messy. I guess I really have become a mom since large quantities of vomit and poop aren't that big of a deal anymore.

Oh well, it was nice to see my dad and step mom and we did get to eat some yummy Indian food. Hopefully Grandpa Reed will send me a few of the pix he took of their visit so I can post them.
