Facial Orifice Milestones

At less than 8 months, Elise's first chomper appeared... beating her sister's toothless streak by more than 2 months. Tooth #2 rapidly followed, and we now have a pair of pearly whites on the bottom row-- perfect for noshing on soft cooked sweet potato fries, green beans, brocolli, and her favorite, asparagus. Elle astutely wondered if her sister's diaper would now smell like asparagus? You'd be surprised how exciting aspara-pee is in our household. Or maybe you wouldn't...


Not to be outdone by her sister's milestone, Elle demanded attention for a facial orifice of her own... Earlier, she told me she had something stuck in her nose. After lengthy discussion, (and in light of the overly dramatic/creative/imaginitive source), I concluded that she was talking about a booger. THREE days later, she blew THIS out of her nose. Mother. Of. The. Year.


What is it you say? Some tiny doll's microscopic shoe. Clearly the toy manufacturers have never been asked to repeatedly put on and remove said accessory, locate a matching pair, or retrieve them from a child's nare.

Please, children. Enough drama with the face holes already.

Oh Lauren...you crack me up! No worries though- Elle is not the only child to stick a barbie shoe up her nose. I have a friend whose little one did the same thing! And my first year of teaching preschool on my first day a child stuck a bead up her nose...that earned me Teacher of the Year! ha!
