Em and I took a field trip to Sports Authority today to pick up some wrist strap things for Paul. He had asked for them last week, but seeing as I was house-bound last week with the worst summer cold today was really the first day I felt good enough to get out of the house. Despite the torrential downpour we braved the rain and headed to Panera Bread for lunch and Sports Authority.
I quickly found what we were looking for and decided to check out the women's work out clothes as they were having a huge sale. Ya know since I got the jogging stroller and all. So I gave Em the smaller box of wrist straps to play with and started to look through the clothes.
I was only half paying attention to what Em was doing so imagine my surprise when I looked down and found this:
Much like a mouse, Em had chewed a hole in the box. Keep in mind she has no teeth and as she smiled her gummy smile up at me I could see little bits of gummed up cardboard on her tongue. She was quite dismayed when I took the box from her and proceeded to use my finger to clean the cardboard out of her mouth. She let me know how displeased she was by my actions by screaming her fool head off. I can already see she is going to be quite the handful as she gets older, but she makes me laugh. Oh, does she make me laugh!
I am going to assume the dye used to make this box wasn't toxic in any way. Fingers crossed!
I just love your Emma and mommy stories....reminds me of my own sometimes. Babies are really the best form of entertainment! If I had a dollar for all the times Adrianna has chewed through boxes, been half way out of the shopping cart, thrown up in the most inappropriate places, I'd be rich. And she's only one, I can't even imagine what it will be like when she can talk back to me.
