So today at lunch Graham turned bulimic. It may have started with food caught in his throat, but then he repeatedly made himself throw up. And by "made himself throw up" I mean stuck his fingers as far back in his mouth as possible until he threw up. He was so mad when I made him stop. Even after I moved him and took away his lunch, and tried to calm him down he kept on trying to do it. I decided to just nip it in the bud, because I didn't want to have him diagnosed with an eating disorder at the age of 2, and I looked back to think that I could have stopped it.
In other Graham news he has been doing such a better job of sleeping through the night for the past month. It is on a very regular basis these days. He also will occasionally stand on his own for a few nanoseconds at a time before he crumples down or leans into something. Last night Jesse tried to get him to walk since he has occasionally taken a step to make it to the couch or something, but he was really not interested at all.
So that's it. I have a ton of projects going on right now, and that is why I have not posted any updates on the vacation (Not that it was that noteworthy, it was more of a relaxing vacation than an activity vacation.) You can see all about my projects on my losingmyneedles blog. That's all for now.

Consider yourself lucky that your little one is content with not walking - I don't know why I was so excited when Ari hit this milestone a month ago- now he is into EVERYTHING and he can get where ever he wants to go so fast- agh I don't know the next time he will sit still ?!?!?
Both of my kids went through a brief stage where they thought it was really hilarious to gag themselves, too?!? luckily it lasted only a couple of days for both of them. Hopefully Graham doens't end up in therapy years from now for you stunting his desire to be bulimic :-)
Wow, I had no idea that toddler bulimia was so rampant! I'm thinking they need to bring back after-school specials to address this issue...
