“Food Is Better”

Carrie wanted to play outside in the rain today. So I let her put on her rain boots and rain coat and play with her sand table on the deck while I kept an eye on her from the kitchen. (I really need rain boots and a coat for myself!) I wasn’t watching her every move, so imagine my surprise when she came up to the deck door crunching on something…

She decided to see what sand tastes like.

After I helped her rinse her mouth out, I asked her what she thought of the sand. She thought for a minute and said, “food is better!” and agreed that she wouldn’t try to eat sand again.

Oh, and while I was brushing her teeth extra well this evening to make sure there was no sand still hiding in there, I realized that her third two-year molar is in. Now we just have to wait for tooth number 20 and we’ll be done, done, done with the teething thing. That molar probably explains some of the recent lack of sleep!
