Spider slept 7 hours last night. Oh blessed rest! And yet, with this blessing comes a cruel twist for breastfeeding mothers: double D’s and PAIN. Lots of it. For much of the day.
And now, some advice.
If you are a mother of any child under the age of three, do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy them a Nerf-type football. It may sound like a good idea, because kids love balls and Nerf is soft, but DON"T do it. The reason is this: apparently small children think these types of toys are edible. My oldest two have both taken big bites out of Nerf-type footballs.
This morning I found such a ball in the pocket of Charming’s jacket. It was from the Navy booth at the Fair. I casually tossed it on the ground and went upstairs. When I came back down a substantial chunk was missing.
Me: Sugar, did you take a bite out of the football?
Sugar: Yes.
Not good toys, folks. Not good at all.
testing…

Well I hope this works. Here is a suggestion, maybe you should feed your kids then they won’t try to eat their toys!

your thoughts about ‘nerf’ products hit home for me. We’ve had a few of those experiences in our ‘universe’. We had these huge round foam bats which i found my second child munching on a couple times, they quickly went to the garbage. The really gross one was once while visiting my parents house my kids were playing with the Fisher Price house. They were setting up the beds, people etc. Well, I looked at my baby’s mouth and saw some yellow stuff around it. I couldn’t figure out what it was….till I saw the Little People bed with most of the foam scratched off. YUCK, not only did my baby eat foam, he ate foam that was at least 20 years old!!!

Yay for the new blog. I like. Sorry I’m so slow. My kids eat the heck out of those things, always have.
