I have always marvelled and wondered at women who tell me about their children up all night puking all over their bed, their pajamas, and themselves.  One woman actually told me that she layered the childrens' beds like casseroles: mattress pad, fitted sheet, mattress pad, fitted sheet, mattress pad, fitted sheet.  I couldn't even wrap my brain around that one.  My dd who is now six has never puked in her bed.  I couldn't even imagine what I would do?  Well, now I know. 

I will take off the soiled sheets, the wet mattress pad, change the nasty pajamas, wash up the dirty face, remake the bed, put clean pajamas on the child, then lie the child down with clean blankets, bless the child, and turn off the light.  Then after throwing all nasty items into the washing machine, I will return to the child's room, strip the dirty sheets, take off the soiled mattress pad, remove wet pajamas, wash dirty puked on hands, and pluck off puked on blankets.  I will the  proceed to layer the crib like a casserole:  mattress pad, fitted sheet, mattress pad, fitted sheet, mattress pad, fitted sheet.  Put double pajamas on the baby and skip the blankets altogether.  Poor little thing.  I think it's going to be a long long night...
