My daughter loves to eat crayons.Especially the red ones. So that when it drools out it looks as though she is a vampire baby that just fed. The blood red crayons stick to every nook and crevice in her teeth. I often wonder if maybe she is really an alien baby as my dad has been suggesting all along.
I have long been afraid of the day she climbs out of her crib out of her room and I wake with her staring at me. Now I worried she will be there staring at me with blood dripping down her lips.
I have had many conversations with her about not eating crayons. She just laughs. Yes I know conversations with a one and half year old are often futile, what can I say I enjoy a challenge.
I wish I could do what I love with same abandon. Laugh when everyone told me over and over why it was wrong. Not even skipping a beat. As though it did not matter, I loved it and that was all I knew.
Sometimes in life you just have to eat crayons.

That’s what I’ve always thought.

ha! love it. gratefully my daughter has grown up to just coloring with crayons. but oh the eating! and oh the crayons up the nose! and oh the… well, you get the idea.
So there is an end in sight! Good to hear 🙂
i smile every tme i read something from this blog. thnx 🙂
awww thanks 🙂 that made my night !
Have you tried TELLING her to eat crayons? Maybe she is just in the ‘do the opposite of what parents,’ say phase already.
I have not tried that. And it just might work! Great Idea!
Freedom . . . how beautiful life would be.
I like your little vampire in training.
I love her too. I forget to mention she loves to pretend to bite people. Opens her mouth real wide then goes ahhh and gets real close than backs away and does her evil laugh.
What a sweet and funny post, nevercontrary.
Thanks for reading! I hope your computer problems are fixed !
And just think, in just a few years, she might be eating dirt. I ate dirt. Lots of kids eat dirt…really…it wasn’t just me!
Oh we are already there. She loves to eat dirt!! Its got tons of nutrients right?
