Sickening Threats

I figured with all these "normal" people posts I was posting today I should throw in a Bowen family post to let you know we were still alive and kicking. Plus, I didn't want any of you to change your perception of us and let your guard down and then have something like this happen to you in our presence. It's rough.

So here goes:
I'm not sure how this happened, but somehow Cooper caught wind of how much his mother "loves" all things throw-up. He has decided that this knowledge holds certain perks, shall we say, and thus employs it at any time he believes is advantagious. Here are just a handful of those times.

Randomly through out the day when I tell Cooper to pick up his toys.
"Mom, me can't pick up my toys, I'm gonna throw-up!"

In the middle of the night when he wants to climb in bed
"Mom, my tummy hurts, I think I'm going to throw-up."
Of course, this has the opposite result he's looking for. You better believe I'm not letting him near my bed if he feels like he is going to throw-up.

When he is mad at me
"I'm gonna throw-up on you!!!"

and my personal favorites,
the time when he actually does throw-up. (about 8 different times this week)
I swear, it feels like this kid throws-up all the time. (But I know he doesn't, only Gwen's kids do that.) Good thing I love him or I might be tempted to trade him in for a less volatile version. Although, bless this little boy's heart, at least he knows how to throw-up in a toilet.

Kami, bless her heart, is a doll. When Cooper got mad at her today and said "Kami! Me gonna throw-up on you!!!" She just looked him square in the eye and said "You can't throw-up on me, you're not even sick."
Unfortunately, Cooper got the last laugh, and although he isn't even sick, the second I tucked him into bed he got mad at Kami and threw-up all over himself. (But I guess since he threw up all over himself, Kami got the last laugh.)

  2. What's up with the throw up thing? I didn't know this was a constant - bummer. Maybe I'm glad I only volunteered to have Kami over Wednesday. I don't think Quinn's quite ready to clean up throw up. By the way - all the kids loved having her come. Thanks for sharing her.
