Tristin

*maura got a good bit of polly pocket things for her birthday....*

Maura never put anything in her mouth that wasn't meant to be there. Tristin put everything in his mouth. While he doesn't do that really any more, I am praying he hasn't discovered a new place to put things...

Tristin: Mommy, there's sumpun (something) in my nose.

Me: A booger?

Tristin: No, a shoe


Here is a list of things that were pulled from Tristin's mouth on a regular basis:

*a circular magnet that he had gotten stuck, so that he could not close his mouth - it was wedged between his upper & lower jaws and I had to carefully pry it out!
