Of all the places…

…to have your son throw up in the middle of the night, into two good sized drawers full of legos is one of the worst. With Christian’s previous condition, we got plenty of experience in this type of cleanup, but last night was a bit more difficult. It took me about two hours (from about 1 to 3 am) to clean all of them off.

  1. I’m sorry!

  2. You should of just bought new ones. Or put them in a tub to soak.

    That sucks.

    where’s the lost blog?

  3. I’ll pitch in for new ones.

    been there done that, as parents you become veterans of this stuff, but you guys have had more than your share as a family.

    story: one time chris came running to me, when he was 4, saying his stomach hurt, right after I showered put on clean clothes and as he embraced me he hurled on the front of my shirt. funny to me now.

  4. You could put them in one of those net-handwash-things and run them through the dishwasher. I’m sure it’s too late for that now. And hopefully there will never be another opportunity to test it out.

  5. Dan – I did end up putting them in the tub (and sink) and then rinsing them off while pulling them out of the water. It still takes a long time because it’s a lot of legos, and they have all these little holes that stuff can get in.

    The Lost blog is coming, but it might not be ready before tonight, so I’m going to post on that theory/prediction I talked to you about last night regarding tonight’s episode, just so that it’s on the record before the episode airs.

  6. lego fire!

  7. What a great dad and husband. I don’t do well with puke clean up. He took the whole thing on and never bothered me once. YAY Jared! You rock!

  8. I love husbands who deal with barf and clean toilets.

  9. Yeah, husbands who deal with barf and clean toilets are a special breed. You have my sympathy, Jared. That’s nasty stuff especially in the middle of the night. Like all parents, I have a few similar but not as bad stories. Here’s one: The night before I started working at the Reporter (first job for someone else in 7 years) Sam hovered over my bed at 3 a.m. saying, “I don’t feel good.” He made it to the hallway when it began. It was a bad, bad mess that involved much cleaning, comforting and laundering. Suffice to say showing up a few hours later for training as an editorial assistant was not my ideal scenario. Such is life!

  10. lost.dancameron.org soon!

  11. i took care of my own barf!

  12. Well, one’s own barf is another story. Hopefully you are big enough to get it into some sort of receptacle. Kids are not so good at foreseeing what is coming.
