Parenting small children comes with many firsts. First step, first solid foods...and so on. It also comes with some fun (for parents!) firsts - first trip out in underpants instead of pull-ups. First overnight without diapers. These are good firsts. Exciting firsts. Firsts we are glad to see.
Other firsts, well, not so much. Let's take, oh, um...first time throwing up in public. That's not a good first. I'm sure most people reading this can remember that time someone in their class in elementary school threw up. Right? I know I can.
We also had "one of those" firsts today. Isaac did seem a bit under the weather this morning, but we didn't think much of it. There was a parents lunch thing at school, for education week, to share lunch and some favorite books. Rob went along, as "the girls" were at a playdate. By the time lunch was finished, it was obvious that the little man wasn't feeling 100%. Dad, with his quick reflexes, managed to act quickly and catch the, um, event, and salvage some of our little guy's dignity. Thank goodness for lunch bags, quick hands, and paper towels.
Which means we experienced a whole bunch of firsts today. Mixed blessing, those firsts.
