Attack of the Killer Sweet Potatoes


So we've made an interesting discovery about our child: he is allergic to sweet potatoes. How random! We've had three or four major vomiting episodes in the last 6 months or so. And in at least 3 of them, I can confirm that he had eaten sweet potatoes approximately 2-3 hours beforehand. We had decided after the last go-around that we wouldn't give him any more, just in case. But you know how life is....I forgot to throw out the last few jars that we had and instead left them on the shelf, where they got mixed up with the others and, you guessed, it....Gus had some apple-sweet potatoes for lunch yesterday!


So we spent the afternoon cleaning up the car, washing the carseat cover, changing the sheets in the crib and generally picking up after the throwing up mayhem. But I'm happy to report that this morning, Gus is up and about and just as excited about life as ever!


Interestingly enough, Scott is O.K. with this discovery, because he, too, hates sweet potatoes! Like father, like son.

Oh, I'm so sorry! How random...at least that's the only reaction, I guess?? I guess you'll be eating sweet potatoes alone, Amy?
