My plan for this afternoon involved going to Southcenter Mall to return a pair of shoes and to the grocery store to get something for dinner.  Promptly after getting Katie situated in her stroller in the mall parking lot, she puked.  And I mean, puked.  I believe she got rid of everything she had eaten for the past five hours.  Wow, what a mess.  I just don't understand why she always has to puke on things with straps that can't be removed or washed well--strollers, car seats, high chairs.  UGH...poor baby (and poor mommy):(  After two minutes, I had her cleaned up and in fresh clothes.  I started to put her in her car seat and she FREAKED out-- stiff body, immediate tears, sobbing "no, no, no."  I didn't think she would get sick again, so I carried her into the mall and then we walked together, hand in hand, to return her shoes.  

The timing of our departure from the mall worked well with picking Ben up from work.  Since I had not made it to the grocery store (I blame the puking), we decided to order pizza for dinner.  Ah, the wonderful aroma and taste of Garlic Jim's Hercules pizza.  It is a meat-lovers dream:)  We got free hot wings with our pizza order too.  They were ok.  I prefer wings to be crispy, and they were not.  We ate them anyway.  I was trying to keep Katie away from things that might upset her stomach.  But, when she wanted to dip her pizza crust into Ben's blue cheese dressing, we let her.  The verdict?  She liked it and wanted more!  Way to bounce back kiddo:)
