We have finally banished the sickness that kept Owen and Dave indisposed the past week - hooray! Poor Owen was a mess, projectile vomiting all over the place. Turns out he had a nasty stomach bug that was going around daycare, but the other kids just had it for 24 hours. Owen got it for a week.
We learned a couple of lessons that are worth sharing:
1. The best baby shower gifts are old towels for cleaning up baby vomit. No, seriously.
2. When baby is vomiting, only dress him in navy blue or black or brown. Anything other than this and you are silly.
3. After the baby throws up all over the daycare teacher, she deserves a little present. Yes, vomiting babies come with the job, but it's still gross.
4. It helps to have another adult around if you personally cannot handle the vomit. Then when the baby vomits all over you, you can yell, "Sarahhhhhhh!" and I will run in and scoop the vomiting baby from your arms and shuttle him to the bathtub. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I definitely need a Sarah if/when I have a vomiting child!! Maybe we should have saved the infamous white "vomit" chair for Owen :-).
Glad to hear you're all feeling better!
Happy Inauguration Day :-)
