Note to self...no more green bananas!

Whew! Tonight has been an adventure!!! We were on our way to celebrate my last day at work with the Murphy's and gave Finnean a banana to keep him happy until we got our pizza...well that turned out to be a HUGE mistake. We knew the banana was green but didn't think too much of it. He ate the banana and then about 15 minutes later he threw up everywhere!!!! YUCK! He didn't seem sick at all before that and had been acting fine. So we decided to stay and eat supper and wash his car seat cover and Finnean just lounged on the couch...second big mistake of the night! He threw up on our friend's couch!! O we feel terrible-they are so wonderful they just helped us clean it up. At that point Michael had to rig up Finnean's car seat with a blanket for padding because we threw it in the wash. He threw up again on the way home and then fell asleep. Boy! what an adventure. We thought we would just put him to bed but as soon as I sat in the chair he perked up and said "Read a book?" So we read a book and decided to chance it by taking a bath. He did great and brushed his teeth. Then he wanted a drink of water...there would be our third and final mistake (well-i hope it is the final mistake) of the night. He came upstairs and was playing and talking and then here it comes again!!! So we got cleaned up and put him to bed. About an hour later he spit up enough that his sheets needed changed. So now he is sound asleep on his mattress on our bedroom floor. We think that might be easier than me sleeping in his room listening for him to throw up again. Poor little guy. Send your get well soon thoughts our way! So the lesson learned after some googling is that green bananas have way more starch in them than ripe bananas and little tummy's can't handle all that starch-leading to upset stomach which equals a lot of laundry. Lesson learned.

Awwww.. Poor little Finnean. I had no idea green bananas were bad to eat for little tummies either. Hope he sleeps well with no more throwing up!
