My poor guy- he has the BIGGEST gag reflex i have ever seen. If he cries too hard, coughs too hard, has something stuck in his throat, too big a bite, whatever.... he gags and pukes. I have cleaned up puke more times in the last three years than my entire lifetime before him!
Tonight was a typical choke on toothpaste/spit night and he vomited all over his bed (lovely) and pjs. He stalls for bed like nobody's business too so honestly it was hard not to be a little ticked off- can he make himself puke on demand?? I think not- yet.
As I am FINALLY tucking him into bed he starts coughing a bit and I quickly grab water to brush down whatever residual gunk is still there. He asks why water makes us feel better and we talk about how it washes away all the yuck. He is still very fascinated by water. A typical boy, he is also amused by bodily functions and asks "Do we poop out the extra water?" Sorta- except it is pee- water helps wash out the yuckies and we pee out the extra.... "I like my pee to be orange" he says, "or pink or blue or black." Well I hope your pee is never that color- that would be some crazy pee. "I like it. Colorful pee is some fun stuff."
