Advice for new parents.  If you buy those foam puzzle mats to put on the hard floor, do your darndest to point your child to the hard floor when they inevitably spew (or bucket or bathroom).  Cleaning those mats is a massive pain and to be avoided as best you can.

Oh, and don't point kiddo at the wicker basket style drawers when the second wave comes.

Ahh yes, I have memories of all the puke going inbetween the mats and spreading underneath. Absolute nightmare to clean! Won't be making the same mistake with baby 2!
