Say no to Nerf

Note to self, no Nerf toys for Adam until he's older. Maybe every mom already knows this, maybe I just wasn't thinking appropriately, maybe I'll be able to help one absent-minded mom who might do what I did. So today, I put Adam down for his afternoon nap. He seemed pretty wide awake and I thought he might want to play with the football for a while. I tossed it in his crib, said goodnight and closed the door.

3 hours later, this is what Doug found.

And this.

And this.

We're so thankful he didn't choke. He apparently gagged and threw up, since it was all over his clothes, his bed and he had a certain smell that lingered on his body resulting in a quick scrub down in the bathtub. So now we know that 1) Nerf is off limits for the time being for "destruct-o boy", 2) Looks like Santa will have to bring a replacement ball, and 3) we need to be on the look out for some really colorful poo.
