Soy Sauce

John loves any foods/drink with a strong flavor.  He loves to eat salsa by the bowlful, and liked coffee for his entire life.  He will also steal a sip of beer from you if you aren't careful.
Well, he recently started drinking soy sauce.  We have had to hide our soy sauce for the last few weeks.  But, he found the big Costco sized bottle of soy sauce yesterday and drank all that was left in it.  It was about 2 cups worth.  We're very thankful it wasn't more!
He seemed totally fine, until he wasn't.   He threw up 6 times in my car.  :(
Outside of being pale for the rest of the evening, he seemed fine.  It sure didn't slow him down.  I hate to think what that much sodium would do to you.  Glad his body got rid of it.

Vaccine

We are continuing to get John vaccinated, one shot at a time.  It obviously takes longer, but if you've had the chance to see John after a vaccine you'd understand.   He got a polio vaccine last Thursday.  Friday was a new level of craziness.  He could not stand or sit still for even the tiniest amount of time.  He ran back and forth across the house with no breaks the entire day.   He wouldn't even stop for food.   Thankfully he did get to sleep around midnight and slept until almost 7am.   Then, he was back at it all through the weekend.  He's gets better each day now.
Surely, this must mean something?  I've never heard of another kid reacting to a vaccine that way.   We have seen this with each of his vaccines.
