jade

We started out our day at Peet's getting bagels for our brunch party. We drove around to drop the dogs off and get Jamba Juice, then went home to get the house together. Daddy kept Enzo busy outside while mommy got the house together. Leah, Paul and Maya came over for brunch and Enzo was mighty excited to have Maya over. Katie, Scott and the boys and Wes and Eric came over too. It was fun having all the kids here running around Enzo's new play structure.

In addition to the bagels and lox and coffee cake, Enzo ate a chunk off of our jade plant in the backyard, and this led to a major disaster after his nap - he had a giant projectile vomit and proceeded to vomit every 30 minutes for the next 4 hours. After calls to Poison control as well as the pediatrician, we did our best to keep him relatively hydrated in between the bouts of vomiting.

So he had the worst day of his life - vomited and vomited which really scared him (and us!); but he also had the best day of his life - nonstop snuggying with mommy and daddy on the couch, 5 hours straight of Planet Earth and Blue Planet dvds, as well as all the pops he wanted as soon as he was keeping liquids down, and bedtime 2 hours after the usual time.

It was so sad to see his face as soon as he would realize he was about to vomit, he would get so upset. But when he started to feel better, it was obvious - he started asking for pops, sharks, fish, Betty, Harry and whales. We were too scared to give him any milk so he went to bed with a belly full of ice, water, pops, and a little bit of watermelon.

Let it happen to either of us (preferably Ralph) a 100 times before this ever happens to him again. We threw out that jade plant.
