Edible

Being a parent, I have learned that when you spend most of your days with your belly parallel to the floor, nothing is considered off limits when it comes to what you can - and are willing - to try to eat.

This no-holds-bar approach to consumption is universal for two and four legged belly-down-movers.

My nine month old puts everything in her mouth. Fortunately, her gag reflex is faster than my fingers so very little actually has the opportunity to travel to her tiny belly.

I wish I could say the same was true for my babies with tails and fur.

The latest victim in the quest to consume anything that's not tied down was Barbie.


Chewie, my friend, you were named after Chewbacca from Star Wars. Get it right. I can assure you that you will not have nearly as much fun getting that arm out of your body as you had getting it into your mouth.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
