Katy's first post

Leila saw this picture and said "sick" b/c it was taken one day when she stayed home from daycare sick.

Before I had kids, I would have thought a good general rule of thumb might be: if a child can say "choking hazard" then the child is probably not in much danger from the object in question. Yesterday Nyssa wanted to hear the ocean with some seashells that we'd picked up from our trip to North Carolina for Jess and Matt's wedding in 2008. So Nyssa got some out and handed one to Leila, warning her that they were a choking hazard. Leila repeated "choking hazard", took out her pacifier and proceeded to stick the shell in her mouth. I guess she was thinking it wouldn't be a choking hazard if it wasn't something you were supposed to put in your mouth.


Look at how cute they are. They had a great dance party that night.
