I think your baby's just been sick

Took Alice to hear the Nigella of the baby world this morning at Babies Galore. We sat near the front because I'm a swot and Alice stared with wrapt amazement at the pretty lady speaking into a microphone (think she's going to be a swot too). Her adorableness prompted admiration from the crowd and from Annabel Karmel herself. As I bathed in smugness and listened to how to introduce fish to your baby's diet almost as soon as they start solids, the lady next to me tapped me on the shoulder and timidly pointed out that, "I think your baby's just been sick". Alice had a chin covered in vom, it was all down my leg (the one day I choose black trousers over jeans) and there was a huge puddle on the floor. I guess the last minute of "admiration from the crowd" had actually been ridicule and pity from about ten other mothers.

Needless to say we had to exit stage left without getting our baby puree recipe book signed.
