Tossing cookies, puking, blowing chunks, whatever your term of choice is....Nice topic, huh?!
At what age did your children learn that you go to the bathroom if you think you might vomit? For those with special needs kids, did they learn that at a much later age?

This blog is a collection of things on my mind. Could be serious, could be rambling idiocy. I invite you all to read, debate, ridicule, *whack*, and even give me a little love.

The first time they vomited (as toddlers) all three of my kids did it directly on me. They run up to you with a distressed look on their face, make intnese eye contact, and then BLEAAAHHHH all over you. So hot and pleasant.
I think they are 4 or so before they get the "run to the bathroom" thing down. Although even a 2-3 year old can successfully vomit into a nearby bucket pretty well. Except at night when all bets are off.
My son with autism almost never got sick but I don't remember any special horrors so he must have been in the normal range, vomit-wise.
I hope you feel better now, Kim.
I dunno. I've thrown up a lot in my life, and only about 6 times was it due to alcohol.
Well, I guess "only 6" isn't a good number, but I don't have much of a stomach for the stuff.
I figured out the bathroom thing when I was around 4 - at least, that's as far back as my memory goes on the subject.
I think 4 is about right. Although that sometimes does not work then too(see, back seat of Zombs van last fall).
Annabelle is able to get to the can or use a bag in a bucket at night. Jack? Suprisingly(knock on wood) has never thrown up. Even as a baby. Meggie too. Belle is our puker.
I'm a big puker too. I do it a lot. I sometimes do it from just coffee in the morning. I cough a lot too so that does not help.
Conner just had a bug a few weeks ago. He was about half and half. He knew to go and do it, but sometimes I think he was either too weak to get up or too afraid.
Tom will probably agree that Rocky's has awesome sausage. <---not code.
My three nephews don't puke in the toilet. They are 7-10-13. Everytime they get sick (which is about every three months), my sister spends a lot of time cleaning up vomit. Last night, at nephew's birthday party at Rocky's, he said he didn't feel good, went and played games, then stood in the middle of the floor, puking.
I remember my friend Kelli puking on my shoes in kindergarten. The teacher was tying her art smock, I was in front of her chatting. She bent over and hurled.
Mine has never thrown up. (I know, now she will within the next 72 hours, just because I said that.)
I seem to remember always knowing to run to the bathroom.
My nephew is 5 and seems to have the idea now, but it's a new thing.
Has your sis never taught them to run for the toilet? Once DD was able to let me know that she was getting sick, I started steering her to the toilet. I'd say at 4-5 she knew the routine, feel like you're going to get sick? run to the toilet.
Agree with Breezy. And this worked with Conner last time, he was just scared.
One of my most famous pukes was after a Greek wedding. Someone let me sneak screwdrivers at the ripe ol' age of 14. I can remember covering my mouth in the car and having it spray through my fingers. Not fun.
Oh! Now we're sharing vomit stories? Okay!
I got carsick all the time as a child and the drill was if dad couldn't pull the car over for some reason I was to stick my head out the window and hurl.
Thus, while driving across the Peace Bridge from Ontario, Canada to Buffalo NY - a bridge on which no stopping is allowed - I opened my window and hurled directly onto an international border. Yep - I laid out a continuous string of vomit right across the center of the bridge where the 2 national flags fly side-by-side. I almost wish there was video of this moment, lol.
(I think 3 flags actually fly side-by-side but I don't remember what the one in the middle is. UN? I dunno.)
Kim, obviously your sister is way too nice to her sick kids. Any ten-year-old who vomits on the floor and is not hospital-bound or running a fever of 106' should have to clean it up themselves, or at least help with some of the yucky parts. How else will they learn?

From the time she could walk I tried to get Kate to use the toilet, but til she was about 8 or so she refused, she would only throw up on a towel, and one night I did 3 loads of laundry.
Funny throw up story.
Once my aunt and uncle came but to take my mom out for lunch and proceeded to order her these huge fancy cocktails since the place was known for it's drinks ( They went to Tips, Puffy), anyway on the way back to the house my mom got sick but was in the backseat of my uncle's brand new leather seated mercedes, so she very quietly barfed in her purse. I don't think they knew, but after she woke up she wanted me to help her clean it up. YUCK!
*skipping all the vomit stories* No offense!
All I can remember is that when my were very young (one or two) I would praise the kids when they started vomitting. They looked so frightened and were looking at me for *my* reaction, so I would just say, "good job honey, it's ok...almost done now", LOL.
I was so happy when they started getting into the bathroom on their own. I have no idea what age it was, though. I think they didn't vomit for so long that they skipped over the years 3-6.
Comet makes your mouth turn green.
Comet tastes like Listerine.
Comet makes you vomit.
So vomit, try Comet today.
Hey Buggy, the Tips restaurants are gone...
My free year old niece (yes, I said free year old, not three year old) barfed all over one of our living room chairs a couple of months back. *gag*
Well, buggy, I guess a towel is better than the carpet. :-)
Thanks all for the thoughts. I was hoping my expectations for the kids to puke in the toilet/mom to teach them to puke in the toilet weren't too high.
Chris puked in our tent about three years ago when camping. THAT was awful! I threw him a roll of paper towels and went to the car to sleep.
