I think that I became a desensitized parent when I was holding my sick child on my shoulder when she woke up crying in the middle of the night and she threw up down my back and into my slippers and my first thought was, "I hope she's okay once we clean HER up and get her back to bed."
Another moment was when she was coughing really deep and I knew she was going to throw up and instead of backing away, I instinctively cupped my hands and try to catch it so she would be comforted by being close to me after it was over...bad decision on my part. You can't be prepared for the volume of chow that comes out with just your hands.
Now we have two and everyday is an adventure, from cuts and scrapes, to boogers and puke....good times. Seriously, though, I wouldn't trade it for anything...maybe some new slippers.
