More Things I Never Thought I'd Say



I'm sure you're thinking "What is this?" I have to confess before today I would have said "Why it's a chandelier of course!" Silly me. Fortunately my 3 year old taught me the true meaning of this picture. I had given him 2 pieces of turkey bologna as part of his nutritious lunch and then went into the kitchen. When I came back into the dining room, lo and behold there was a piece of turkey bologna shoved through that little circle on the bottom of the chandelier.

The following conversation ensued:

AE: Turkey bologna does not belong in the chandelier. (Pensive look on my face as I try to remember if either the Big Giraffe or I have ever cleaned the chandelier in the entire 5.5 years we've been living in our house.)

OS: Bologna resting, Mommy. Finish first piece then have second.

AE: Take it down.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Turkey bologna does not belong in chandeliers no matter what your 3 old tells you.

    This reminds me of the time a friend bought a huge package of baloney and her toddler got it out of the fridge and helpfully hid the slices all over the house...under the couch cushions, etc. Yikes.

    Baloney resting. THAT is one funny kid.

    That is a very funny story. My wife and I are going to be having children soon and this is a great blog for her to read about being a mother. Thanks for the great blog!

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
