As it turns out, if you, the parent of this child, turn your head/avert your eyes/go to the bathroom/tie your shoe/engage in conversation for greater than 1 second (the time it takes for the child's hand to reach mouth), you will inevitably end up with a little list I like to call Nasty Things (insert your child's name) Has Eaten or Attempted to Eat.
Here's ours:
Nasty Things Libby Has Eaten or Attempted to Eat
-used chewing gum (found on the floor at Sears while we were deep in concentration choosing appliances)
-unidentified bug (on the hotel room floor) - you may now proceed with your dry heaving...that's what I did
-old corn cob, eaten by wild animal (we suspect rabbit) and deposited into front yard
-dryer lint
-Skittle from the laundromat floor
-various flowers, grasses, and shrubbery
-rocks
-dirt
-styrofoam (still unsure where this came from)
And that was just the last 3 weeks.
haha! I've always had a huge fear of Hailey eating a bug or spider. Anytime I caught her with something in her mouth and fished my finger in to get it out I said a silent prayer that that it wasn't some sort of insect.
ReplyDeleteyou neglected to mention in your previous post that the evening outside playtime was naked! hehehe! I can just hear Libby saying, "doc, I'm trying to bulk up but my mom just won't let me eat anything!" ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, you're right Madelyn. Libby's been having lots of naked playtime lately (she's got a terrible diaper rash). I always wonder what the neighbors think of us!
ReplyDeleteYou're little girl is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion on my outfit yesterday!
I love that she is naked by the way, and yes, that is GROSS. I'm sure we'll be right behind you eating disgusting things as well when Quin's ready!!
