Rice Cereal... second installment

Soo...since Liam still does not regularly sleep through the night, we thought we'd give rice cereal a try (just a teeny bit early~first child we're told solids at 6 months, second child we're told solids at 4 months) to see if that would help.
As I'm fixing the mixture, Charlotte starts in with her usual "MINE!!!" routine. (this is her favorite pastime...to walk around growling "mine!" ~love you dearly, daughter, but you are definitely TWO!!)

So, back to tonight..she sees this rice cereal and hears us talking about it and starts saying "Cereal! Iss MINE!" and so on and so forth... Remembering back to when she was about 6 months old and how much she hated rice cereal (and we hated giving it to her, and it resulted in this picture), we thought: hey, sure Charlotte you can have some rice cereal...

we all go and sit in the dining room...Liam in the bumbo, Charlotte in a chair, and just to make sure I say: "Now Charlotte, this is Buddy's. Are you sure you want some of this rice cereal?? Remember, you didn't like it when you were a baby.." Well, of course there is a tiny bit of sarcasm in this question, but hey, we're gonna have a little fun...

Charlotte says: "Iss MINE! Rice Cereal!" I take this as a go-ahead, and give her a small bite.


Y'all. She literally threw up. She didn't just dry heave and spit out the spoonful (and she definitely did that)..she also gagged so hard that some dinner vom came up! Okay it sounds bad typing it out, but I'm telling you ~ HILARIOUS!! No children were harmed during the making of this post. If y'all heard her say "mine" as much as we do, you'd have done it, too. She's fine, and maybe she'll think twice before she demands something that isn't hers again...Yeaaaah...Guess her verdict on rice cereal has been upheld.

I just ruined John's viewing of 24 because I laughed so hard at this. Thank goodness for Tivo. And Charlotte.
