Baby E. likes to explore the world around him, just like most nine-month-olds. But he has a prodigious talent for finding things that could hurt him, and promptly sticking them in his mouth.
Stuff we've fished out of his gob this week include:
- three pieces of LEGO;
- dirt;
- a hot banana pepper;
- many, many pieces of paper;
- the front page of the National Post;
- a bottle cap;
- a plastic bag;
- wires;
- a crayon;
- a magnet.
Yes, I know this shows an appalling level of baby-proofing at my house. But come on, I have three other kids, and they have to live their lives, too. They try their best, but now that E. can crawl, he sometimes saunters into their rooms and helps himself to the bounty of forbidden objects.
My trusting swiping finger is getting a workout, at least.
