Adventures in Car Sickness

She looked so cute today--all dressed up for school.


Too bad she barfed all over herself, her car seat and the back of the driver's seat of our car in the parking lot of the zoo today, right as we were arriving for a fun after-school excursion (looks as though someone has inherited her mother's car-sickness gene! Good luck with that one, Anna.).


The best thing though, is that this dress is virtual camouflage for vomit stains. She insisted on continuing our zoo visit, so I wiped her down as best I could, stripped off her vomit-soaked tights and away we went to check out the new African Forest exhibit (which is terribly cool, by the way). She was a trooper but it's hard to say whether the large horseflies were there to visit the rhinos' backsides or my puke-encrusted daughter.

"Who me? Do what? All over my dress? Why, I never!"

*Also of note: This is our second zoo visit in the past month and a half, wherein one of my children has barfed all over themselves and the car on the way there. Interesting, right? And also disgusting. Our car has taken a real beating lately.
