We got sick in large gatherings of people, first time was at a birthday party and this time at a family get together. Baby's auntie was sick at the weekend and didn't tell us before we drove all that way and other auntie started feeling sick on the day after having loads of contact with the baby.

Thank you! I know it's not that big of a deal if I don't get it carved beautifully and the baby won't miss out but I've been looking forward to it for ages and he's nearly nine months old so he loves seeing new things and making a mess, I think playing with the innards would be so much fun for him.
