Gum Chewing

Zola had her first lollipop with gum in the middle the other day. She has wanted to chew gum since she was one year old and saw my mom doing it. She actually chewed the gum for a long long time and then spit it out. This has yet to be repeated. All gum chewing since has involved swallowing her gum. We are currently on a gum hiatus.

Me: Don't swallow the gum. You have to put it in the garbage.
Zola: Don't worry mommy. I will spit it out!
Me: Hey Zola, where is the gum you were chewing?
Zola: I swallowed it.

and so it goes...

Here is Zola trying to chew gum. An actual piece!




No more couch naps. These naps, although look nice in theory, are often too late and then not long enough. Let's just say they make you crabby. Here is Zola taking a couch nap after refusing to take a crib nap. She fell asleep watching Word Girl (our new favorite dose of daily TV) and wowza was she a crab when she woke up!
