My wife and I brought our 3-year-old daughter out with us this year. We decided to make it simple, and opted for a 5-scoop ice-cream sundae at Anderson's.

The ice-cream was nice and we had a good time.

Before our daughter went to bed, she got her usual milk feed. As she was lay down, she started feeling unwell. I carried her and tried to comfort her... and that's when it happened. She threw up over my shoulder.

It was a real mess. It got all over her bedroom floor, splashed onto the door, the walls, her chest of drawers, a few drops on her bed, her cupboard... By the time I finished cleaning her, myself and her bedroom, it was past midnight and I had to get up at 6 the next morning.

Mental note to self; ice-cream and milk in one night is just too much for a 3-year-old.

Other than that, it was a great Valentine's Day :-)
