Cheerio Girl

Dear Eleni,

I love you very much and am very proud that you are crawling and feeding yourself.

I'd just like to let you know that when you find small random things* and stuff them into your mouth, I'm not stuffing my fingers into your mouth for you to use as a teething toy. Just sayin'.

.

Also, Quit Freaking Biting Me When You Nurse. I respect that your teeth are bothering you; I give you lots of teething toys & cheerios. Please respect that THAT FREAKING HURTS, okay?

.

I love you & your sister so much.

.

(And I'm charmed that you love yarn so much, but please. Stop chewing on it. You're giving the cat ideas.)

.

*Do you have any idea how long I vaccuumed for yesterday? I have no idea where she found that. Perhaps my prior tactic of letting a healthy amount of Cheerios stay on the floor as distractors was the better option. Crunchier underfoot, but that's all that Eleni would try to eat off of the floor.
