Never Thought It Would Happen to Me...

I just went down to play with Caleb after lunch, and while down there I finally saw him roll over from his back to his stomach. He has been doing it since last Friday night, but I just hadn't seen it yet.

The funny (or maybe not so funny) part of the story is that I was playing with him by holding him up in the air above my head. While doing this, he spit up all over my face. I could see it coming at me in slow motion but didn't have time to do anything about it. Then I just froze until someone ran over to take him from me. I probably should have had my mouth closed, but it struck me as so darn funny that I was cracking up. No, it didn't go in my mouth...that would have been gross and not so funny.

I had seen this kind of thing on tv before (America's Funniest Home Videos in the olden days) and didn't think I would think it was funny at all if that happened to me. I guess I was wrong. Though if it had gotten in my mouth, I definitely would not have thought it was funny.

Just another way that I have now been indoctrinated into parenting.

Too bad that you didn't have it recorded so you could send it in. Might as well get more than a laugh from it! At least someone else was there to take Caleb while you cleaned up!

that's great! I must say I've never experienced that. I bet it was even funnier to the people watching.

That is great. As much as Kimber spit up that never happened to me, suprisingly. You have to treasure every moment - even the not so glamourous moments. :)
