Ha got my first ever puking toddler problem to manage today!
Somehow I have avoided the other times
I myself have not puked since 1994 so it’s a wild journey! Maybe this is the week!!
I am going for the “it’s impossible to be careful with a sick toddler so I’m just not bothering to be careful“ approach
