Adam's 1st Halloween

Well, Adam's first Halloween was an eventful one. I was a knight, Kim was a princess, and Adam was the dragon that I had to rescue the prinecss from. It was an adorable idea that Kim thought up.

We went over to Becky and Aaron's, and the night went really well. Trevor was Darth Vader, and Madelyn was Dorothy Gale... both costumes were great. Once we put on Adam's dragon costume, we fully expected him to try to take it off (at least the hood part). But he just acted as if it wasn't even on him. He walked around the room, playing and talking, without ever trying to take the hood off. It was adorable watching him try to walk with those giant dragon feet.

We trick-or-treated for about a half hour with the kids, Adam contentedly sat in the wagon with Madelyn watching the exciting night unfold.

Once we got back to our house, it was Adam's bedtime. I read him his story, and put him to bed. About five minutes later, we heard him crying, so Kim went up to lay him back down. I was still sitting downstairs, when I heard Kim, very calmly, say "Hon, he threw up, can you help me?".

So, I went upstairs to help, expecting to see his typical little spit-up, but when I walked into the bathroom, I saw Kim holding Adam, aiming him at the toilet, with a firehose of vomit coming from him. It was insane, I actually thought she was pulling some sort of Halloween prank on me... it was reminiscent of "The Exorcist".

He had to have thrown up his body weight! I saw about 5 heaves, and each one was a solid stream of chunks for about 3-5 seconds.

Then, after a long while of him puking his guts out, he proceeded to act as if nothing was wrong, saying "Mama" and "Dada". Then he wanted to play. He's a tough little guy.

And that concludes my scary story of Adam's 1st Halloween. I wasn't sure how to "scare" you all, so I decided to make it gross. Ha ha, thanks Adam!
