The Great Buttercream (and hotdog) Vomit Incident of 2010

Those of you who've seen us lately or who read facebook may have already heard about the incident, as it made quite the impression on us.

At his cousin, Jason and Liu-Xuang's wedding, Josh managed to wrangle a whole tray of hors d'oeuvre hot dogs for the kids, then later we let Zachary pick something from the vast spread of desserts. His choice was a cupcake the size of his head at birth, and covered with about a cup of rich buttercream frosting. In the photo below, he'd already eaten the majority of it. (Notice the cake part is untouched.)

4 hours later, I went to check on a crying child, and found one of the scariest things a parent can see in a half-awake state: a child so covered in vomit that both parents need to get up and so one can bathe (me) while the other disinfects & picks little bits of vomit-y hot dog from the hotel rug.
