So I'm just popping in to
Last Friday, after a massive run to the grocery store, I stationed Teyla in the kitchen next to some toys so I could run down to the garage and load up with more bags than a bag lady at a Kroger convention.
(I just made that up off the top of my head. Could you tell?)
I returned to the kitchen, nigh 15 seconds later, to find my baby thusly.
Please note: That is not chocolate ringing her rosebud lips.
Are the troubling toddler years coming on faster than usual, or is it me?
I've always heard that a little dirt is good for you. My sister ate a cricket when she was little if that makes you feel any better. And even though she's being a little naughty, she looks so cute with those tiny pony tails...you just can't hold eating dirt against her, can you? :) Sue
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I'm going with building her immune system.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the grocery shopping made her a little hungry?
ReplyDeleteMMMM, dirt. Let the toddler times roll! Asher prefers eating sticks these days.
ReplyDeleteHey um. On a sidenote. I cleared my inbox, deleting your lovely message (after I read it!) but now I don't have your address!
I tried the thing here on the blog, but I'm clueless and have no passcode or whatever (in other words, I don't know how to do it!)
So could you email again, when you get time? I'll be sure to save the address this time!
Thank you!
Whew. I'm glad that others posted that it was dirt. I had it pegged for something worse, and it's only because of my own past experiences.
ReplyDeleteWell, God made dirt, and dirt don't... taste good if you're grown up. Maybe it's nummy to a baby?
All right! Eating dirt--that's a girl with some spunk and more to come. Yes, hold onto your hairbows with this one.
ReplyDeleteMuch, much better than cat poop.. which my son ate a few months ago... at least I think that's what it was....
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law ate a handful of ant bed when she was 5.
ReplyDeleteYou tell that sweet baby to come to Texas and I'll feed her real food so she doesn't have to scrounge for it!
Yummy. If you lived near us, I'd say she could have learned it from any of my little ones.
ReplyDeleteIt sure doesn't take them long to find something tasty.:)
ReplyDeleteEh, now she'll just be THAT MUCH HEALTHIER, right?
ReplyDeleteOh no! That is not the way to get a little fiber in your diet!
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how much I loved sitting with you in San Antonio? You looked AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute Teyla is! Those lines of chubby on the arm are just too much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie, dirt-y or not! I've always maintained that a little dirt makes my kids healthier, building their immune system and all that; hence why clean house? I forgo the cleaning for my kids. It's all for them. Really. I'm a saint.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is that before you save the baby, you take a picture. I video taped Jordan chewing on rocks (way too big to swallow) that we have in our plants. But, it made a really awful sound on his tiny baby teeth once I got close enough to hear it. Then I felt really bad and turned the camera off quickly. I showed Michael the footage and he said that sound is still in his head and he never wants to hear that sound again.
ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest was one and teething, I would often find her in the bathroom. She had managed to lift up the seat, and would be gnawing on the toilet rim. I guess she liked the cold sensation on her gums.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I went berserk. And started cleaning like crazy!

Let the games begin!
ReplyDeleteJordan got another rock today. When will mom learn ?
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I've read your blog several times, and just wanted to introduce myself. Your blog is so sweet and quirky, and I think you're funny. I love your sense of humor. You even said "thusly" in this post, and I say that often in my posting, and it cracks me up every time.
