breaky crayon Casper

[flea]

Well, actually, more like eaty crayon Casper. She finally did it - took a proper bite off a crayon and chewed it up and THEN came to my saying "Mommy, look," at her mouth filled with little red bits and goo. It was the washable sort of crayon, so less waxy and more melt-in-your-mouth-y than your standard Crayola would have been. I fished big bits out with my finger, wiped the tongue and teeth as best I could with a washcloth, and then we brushed teeth to get the bits out of the molars. Yucky yuck! Casper's getting to be more of a danger to herself and the world around her at the moment - she's been a fairly docile and not too curious kid so far, really. And now when I was hoping she was old enough to be developing some sense, instead she's developing the desire and increased ability to get into stuff. I guess she is a ways too young for sense yet.

Okay, here's a wacky question: Did her breath smell really bad after the crayon? Like "icky sinus infection" breath? Squeaky bit the tops off a couple crayons over the course of a couple evenings, and sure enough, her breath was icky, but she didn't seem to have sinus congestion and it didn't continue after she stopped eating crayons...

I didn't notice anything. But we did brush teeth, and it was right before dinner, so maybe any bad breath got knocked out by those.

Sense is at least another year off, probably 2 or 3, and then it will not so much resemble your sense.

I think I was getting "verbal" confused with "sensible."

Also, will we be seeing you Sunday? I hope so!

It's so up in the air, but I hope so, too. I'd either not known or had forgotten you were going to be there, too!

Scott and I have both had Fifth Disease (we're way past the contagious stage). I'm still having (very minor now) joint discomfort. He's not feeling well though, and his gout has flared up. I have to talk to Nora.
