Current mood: amused
I don't know what it is lately, but Mia has regressed like she is 6 months old again, in the fact she wants to put everything in her mouth!!! I am not sure what brought this on but its very annoying when she puts things in her mouth that are gross... like today!
I had just returned home from a baby doctor appointment and after being greeted by an overly excited Mia "Mama!! Mama!! Mama!!" I sat and chatted with Adrian abit about the appointment. Mia sat on the floor between us (I was sitting on the floor as well, Adrian was on the couch). As I was talking to Adrian I saw Mia playing with something on the ground. She picked it up with her fingers and said "bug! bug! bug!" I noticed it was ant, (a bug she really doesn't like much) but ignored her since I figured once it started to crawl on her she would put it back down.. WRONG! Instead she looked at it and then put it in her mouth!!! GROSSS!!!
I screamed!!! "AHHH MIA NO!!!!" Adrian jumped up because he didn't know what was going on and Mia started to panic! I am not sure if it was because she realized there was a "bug" in her mouth, if it was crawling around in it, or if it was hot (I have been told ants are spicy!) but she quickly ran to me with her tongue sticking out!!! I tried to wipe it but she kept trying to get it out of her mouth. Of course there was no way I would be able to locate the bug and all I needed was for her to panic more and induce vomiting so I tried to tell her it was ok and the bug was gone. She didn't believe me and ran to her Dada with her tongue sticking out trying to lick him to get it out of her mouth. She was still scared!! So I called her back to me and checked her mouth again, I knew unless she saw some hard evidence the bug was gone she wouldn't stop... so I found a piece of black lint on the ground and picked it up without her noticing. I then quickly showed it to her and said "see bug gone!" and threw it away. This seemed to convince her that the bug was gone and she settled down, but for the rest of the morning she kept saying "Bug! Mouth!" and pointed to her tongue!! Haha
Well I hope she has learned her lesson not to put everything in her mouth! Especially bugs!!!
