It's Fun to Play at the YMCA (and Throw Up)

Antonio's an awesome kid.

You know why he's an awesome kid? For many reasons. Too many reasons to get into, really.

But I'll tell you about one reason.

He loves going to the YMCA's playroom.

We were worried. He never really spends any time with other kids. He especially never spends any time away from his Mommy or his Daddy or his Laurie. So when I started going back to the Y and dropping him off, I expected the worst.

Instead I got the best.

He loves going. He can't get out of my arms and into the play room fast enough.

He's such a great kid.
Another way he's s great kid. He's very predictable.

Since he was a kid, whenever he is about to get a new tooth, he starts throwing up at night. At first, it freaked us out because he seemed to be throwing up for no reason. It wasn't until Deb asked Auntie Kel if she had any suggestions, and she told us that some kids throw up when they're cutting teeth. Maybe that was it.

Sure enough, after a week of throwing up, he stopped throwing up, and about a week later, he got his first tooth.

Since then, whenever he throws up at night, we know a new tooth is on its way. We've gotten really good at being able to tell when the throw up is going to happen, too. Usually we can tell far enough in advance to throw down some towels and suit up in rain gear before we head in for his nightly feeding.

Like tonight.

We knew about an hour before we even thought about starting his bedtime routine that he was going to be making a mess all over whichever one of us put him down.

Luckily it was Deb's turn tonight.

Get ready for a new tooth in a couple days.

Oh, and since I don't have any vomit pictures (although I know you're all disappointed there are no vomit pictures), here's Antonio being awesome.
