I have mentioned that Anthony does not get sick very often. He did get sick this week, however.

We have difficulty knowing when he has had enough to eat. If he is not full, he will disrupt our sleep by either not going to sleep himself or waking up in the middle of the night. And, he sometimes clearly does not eat enough to be full if he is uninterested in the food for whatever reason. So, we tend to err on the side of feeding him too much and occasionally feed him ourselves to ensure we will not be paying for it later.

In this instance, when we were trying to get him to eat because he was not doing it on his own, he started to make sounds that indicated he might throw up. We stopped feeding him, and he seemed all right. However, he vomited later after we had sent him to the bathroom. Since he does not know to vomit in the toilet, we had quite the cleaning project.

We had the door between the bathroom and our bedroom slightly open, so some of the contents of his stomach ended up on our carpet. However, the bulk of it was on the floor and the door--and surprisingly high up the door at that. I never really thought about the force behind a regurgitation until I realized the distance it would have traveled had the door been fully open. Maybe this will teach me to keep the door completely closed.

I suppose I spent an hour getting the floor, door, hinges, moulding, and carpet cleaned, plus getting Anthony washed off, and my wife spent some time on the carpet as well. He has still exhibited signs of an unsettled stomach in the two days since, but we are trying to watch him more carefully to prevent a recurrence.
