MY EYES!!!

My little niece is super cute, and super fat. She has a problem with overeating, and therefore a not so unusual tendency to spit up a lot right after she has been nursed. I am well aware of this, so I have no one to blame but myself for what happened this evening. I just should have been more cautious.

Sarah was getting ready to leave to go to dinner with some friends and so she fed Winnie, and had her settled into her swing, looking cute and happy. She mentioned that Winnie had eaten a lot and was really full, but stupidly I still asked if I could hold her for a bit. I was bouncing her around on my lap, and nothing happened so I kind of forgot about Sarah telling me she'd just finished a big meal. She likes to be kind of tossed in the air a bit, so I tossed her up a few times and she was all smiles so I did it again. This time she barfed just as she was landing back in my hands and I was looking up at her. She didn't just spit up a little either, that little girl unloaded right in my face. I wasn't able to see anything because she barfed in my eyes, but I heard Sarah and Jared sitting across the room saying things like "Oh GROSS!! It's everywhere!!" They were sort of laughing too though, and who can blame them? I was less amused. I used the diaper wipe Sarah shoved in my hand to get my eyes cleaned up enough that I could open them again, and the first thing I saw was little Winnie laying there in my lap with a huge grin on her face like it was the best thing that had happened to her all day.
