We Feed Her I Swear

Yesterday Reese and I went grocery shopping. To keep Reese entertained while I loaded groceries in the car, I handed her the shopping list. She slurped on her binky and crumpled the grocery list quite contently. I put her in the car and stupidly did not take the grocery list away.

On the ride home she was the quietest she has ever been in the car – not a peep. We pulled up to the house and I opened her door to find a baby covered in blue ink. There was nothing but a small, soggy square of grocery list left. I panicked and started fishing her mouth for the rest. Too late. All I found was a blue tongue. Reese ate the grocery list. I am a terrible mom.


P.S. We aren’t dead. We just don’t have internet. On lucky days like today we can steal our neighbors wireless connection, but they usually kick us off after a few minutes. Hopefully they won’t notice until after I get this post up…
