His friend Manav had his first birthday and boy oh boy was there fun to be had. In addition to being held in a 12th story apartment that overlooked the beautiful Lake Merritt in Oakland, Cole was introduced to a number of "ladies" and felt it his duty to kiss them and hug them and in one case grabbed their butt (part proud on that one, part horrified - ok mostly proud - guess the sex talk is coming early in the Ambrocente household).
Speaking of the sex talk - Cole learned an important lesson in sex ed. Kissing girls can make you sick.
Two days after the party it seems that everyone's child got sick - and I mean sick. Looking in the rear view mirror to see your child open his mouth and projectile vomit is not a pretty image.He seems on the mend now but I think that all those "oh, look - he's kissing and hugging them so nicely" we heard from so many of the parents, is just not that cute anymore.
We know where it started, and Cole, being the sharer that he is (a new trait that in hindsight, would have been better if it was delayed a few weeks) just wanted to make sure that no one was left out.
If these are the kind of parties Manav throws now, wait until high school - YIKES!
So a week of firsts, his first steps, his first "cop a feel", and his first "party till you puke"!
Until next time...

It was ~ 1980 ... I know this because the car was brand new ... and we were on our way home from dropping your mom off at work one Sunday afternoon ... as I looked into the rearview mirror I could see you erupt and spew out a fountain of nastiness like I had never seen before …did I mention that the car was brand new? It took hours to clean every nook and cranny of that back seat. I was thankful that you were not taller or you might have reached the front seat. It does seem like the stars and planets are now in alignment once again and I have to admit that there is some satisfaction in knowing that you are now on the receiving end. Peace.
