I know what you’re thinking. There can be ‘pros’ to Large Amount Vomiting…? Oooh, yes. Totally.

But first, the cons to LAV:

1. Caden-2yr’s little tummy is unexplainably, but clearly, very unhappy.

2. There were several Vomiting Incidences, none of which involved the use of a toilet, sink, or tub. And there is stinky carpet stainage.

3. I gag at the sight, smell, or thought of vomit. This is particularly unhelpful to me as a stay at home mom of four.

4. Sometimes I follow suit and do my own LAV.

5. Tonight I will be half-sleeping as I listen intently to the staticky baby monitor on the highest setting in case he needs me.

6. When Caden-2yr began the unexpected LAV, he was being held by an adult who became COATED in LARGE AMOUNT VOMIT. (Then that adult RAN to the nearest shower - which was occupied by Ethan-5yr, evicted a soaking wet and confused Ethan-5yr, and stepped in with Caden-2yr to add lots of water to the Vomit Attire.)

Pros to LAV:

1. That adult? Was NOT me. So sorry Mike, but I am praising God with a happy heart tonight for I walk in BLESSING, oh yes I do.

I could come up with others. No one else is puking. Seems non contagious, and this kid is the sort to not freak over vomiting, but really? Almost all other ‘pros’ pale in comparison to number 1.

Thank you, God, that I was not the one wearing vomit tonight. Really, I sooo needed that today.
