Unfit Mother

Two weeks ago, Robert swallowed my wedding ring. It was my fault. I left it on the counter. He swallowed it, and I had to do the Heimlich on him until he threw it up. True Story.

Yesterday I looked into the family room and there was Alex, with a gallon sized plastic bag over his head. He must have thought it made a good hat (it was a perfect fit) and he was just ready to pull it over his nose. I got it away from him before he suffocated himself.
How he got a gallon size plastic bag, I don't even know.

This morning, A&A were playing in my room as I got dressed. They pulled out my 'little glass jars' - one filled with safety pins and one with buttons. Alex got them both open and even though I was right there, he still managed to swallow a button while I cleaned them up. He bit me pretty hard when I tried to fish it out of his mouth.
Today my MIL had to pry a fully wrapped hershey kiss from his mouth.

I never said my kids were good eaters.

well, some people have kids that don't eat anything at all...my cousins kids had to be forced to eat food for years.

really, Robert ate your wedding ring??? WOW, didn't see that one coming =). Note to self, don't leave my rings lying around when Gray gets older.

I found your blog by happenstance and I must say that it's good to know I'm not the only "unfit mother" out there. Beads in the nose seemed to be my little girls favorite when she was littler...

You are a funny writer. =) Good luck with the kids!!
