Talk about making friends and meeting new people! So tonight, we decide to go out for BBQ, some of that Carolina kind! Nicole decides she isn't feeling it and will stay home, so it's just me and the girls! Today was Ava's first day of school so the entire evening was Layla and I listening to the many going ons of a 5 year old in 1st grade. As dinner is coming to an end Layla must interject to add her two cents on a particular important matter regarding lunchboxes or something??? Out of the corner of my eye I see Ava's eyes grow big as she puts her hands over her mouth. "WHAT?" I practically yell at her, and feebly she replies "My neck." OK, daddy panic modes sets in and I jump to my feet and yell at her to "HOLD IT IN!" Does she? She tries! Lord does she try! Her cupped hands make the puke like when you put your thumb on the end of a water hose to make it spray every where. End result is about the same be it water or puke! So I attempt to cup it and just end up with a handful of vomit all the way up to the elbow and some way some how it ended up in my eye! Like not on my face, not near or around my eye, IN MY EYE! I glance around the room at about 15 or so people staring at me standing there with a handful of vomit and eye closed shut from the burning and a little girl they're afraid is gonna blow again! Layla glanced over at what happened... shrugged it off and continued eating her chicken nuggets! At the time SHE was the ONLY person eating their dinner in the whole place! Soon a waitress came and quickly grabbed Ava and took her to the rest room to hold her hair for her, and began cleaning her up! A family nearby, hesitantly said they'd watch Layla for me so I can go check on Ava! I clean up and Ava gets cleaned up and we head back out to the dining area! Apparently Layla made some new friends and they had already mopped up the mess. Huge THANK YOU to the staff at THIG'S BBQ! The waitress brought Ava a glass of water, and every one said they hope she feels better! That kind of hospitality you can't find anywhere in California! Ava kept her cool though, did not cry, did not panic, just simply puked! All she said about the whole matter was, "I just didn't want to get my new clothes or shoes dirty!" She is such a girl! Apparently amidst the talking and eating of dinner Ava had downed an entire 16oz of chocolate milk, and it just didn't agree with her stomach! Lesson learned Daddy! And boy did Mommy pick a good night to skip dinner or what?
