Me: "It's for chewing. Then you spit it out."
Her: "Mama? Why you spit it out?"
Me: "Because it's gum. You don't eat it."
Her: "Mama? Why you don't eat it if you put it in your mouth?"
Thank you, Grant for introducing our child to the fascinating world of gum. May she never see another piece as long as we all shall live. Amen.
Abby is drawn to water. Mostly because she wants to drink it -- in her sand table, in the bathtub, in fountains. What is it? The girl isn't thirsty, let me tell you. All the potty training had me giving her tons of liquid in order to "try" day and night. Why the fascination with drinking dirty water? I'll let you know in about 3 years when she can explain it to me.

Oh the mysteries we don't understand as parents.... some go on for a long time.... others we find the answers too... This is part of the fun... Love the sun dress with those styling boots!!!

Our kids have to wait until they are five until they have gum. And for whatever reason, they totally accept that. If someone offers, "Oh no, I can't have gum until I'm five." Maybe you should tell Abby she can't have anymore dirty water until she's 10.
