If a child refuses to eat cheese, and most other items commonly found at a table for humans; Why does he consume chalk and cat food like a ravenous, repressed preacher at a Sunday brunch buffet?
Why do dogs swallow without chewing?
And why, after feeding time at the zoo, after repeating myself repeatedly to ridiculous proportions to not feed the dog; did the dog puke mass quantities of cheese?!
Notes to self: Next time strap the dog into the high chair. Teach her to chew her cheese before swallowing. Set the baby up in the porch with pet food and chalk.
After all, isn't there a book out there somewhere about not sweating the small stuff? And then something silly about how its all small stuff?!

My eldest crawled into the room once, many many years ago, frothing and foaming at the mouth...literally, it was dribbling down her sweet little chin. After a moment's panic about rabies...patently impossible in her little life, I did one of those mouth sweep jobies that small children are subjected to on a regular basis, low and behold...chalk!
*gag*
Why would they want to eat that?
She may want to do it again now for a Halloween costume.
good question!
i have no answers...
:)
My middle child used to eat all sorts of things like that--soap, charcoal, chalk, deodorant. We later found out that she was missing some essential vitamins in her diet due to her severe food allergies. Not surprisingly, once we figured that out she quit licking and eating everything but her food. :)
i have to laugh!! my daughter is NOT a good eater. i have trouble getting "normal" food into her as well... and constantly find her smacking her lips, chomping on something, and to my dismay (and nauseous pregnant stomach) i look in her mouth to find... HAIR!!! she eats hair. (and with my unwillingness to vacuum these days, there's ample supply of it) i don't get it. :0
OK - not sure if you're gonna wanna leave this up uncensored on your blog, but here is a true story of the most horrifying thing ever.
One of my nephews came toddling out of the bathroom with a USED TAMPON in his mouth. I made some horrified face and flapped speechlessly while his mother dealt quickly and quietly with the situation. We didn't speak about the incident and we haven't spoken about it since. If we don't talk about it, it didn't happen.
oh, I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO want to leave that uncensored. That is the best laugh today. Reminds me of something I had successfully blocked from my memory... Until now...
The.
Dog.
Same story.
Yuck.
I thought I could never look at the dog again, but after the successful block, I just went right back to kissing her after a day or so had passed.
Hair? Even Arianna doesn't eat hair. when she was little she ate NOTHING. Except weird stuff like tuna, oysters, pickles, shreddies. Never cheese, or potatoes.
Nope.
Maybe your sweet daughter has a product deficiency. Or oil deficiency.
Jen- I think we won't speculate on what the said nephew's deficiency might be.... wow! (Oh, right. Now I remember that THAT never happened. we shan't speak of it.
too funny....L-lew
whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Dixie finds the bathroom garbage most tasty and interesting.
I NEVER kiss her mouth. NEVER.
linda- I got me-self a TAAAALLL garbage can after that little incident that we shant ever, ever mention.
