Mine would be the kids that eat the paint chips....

So Most kids would get a hold of make-up, markers or paint and draw all over themselves and others. Oh no, not mine. They choose to eat whatever they get a hold of. This is why I have to have a hawks eye at all times. Of course this is also impossible. So one day Tate wanted to paint. I pulled out all of the art supplies and the water colors and let Tate at it. When he was finished we started cleaning up. Phone rang.... I got distracted. Bad mom!

Well Tate had grabbed the art kit brought it into the living room and dumbed it everywhere so as I was talking on the phone I began cleaning it up, loosing track of what ever it was Addie was doing. As I was still chatting I picked up the box to bring it into the kitchen. I looked at Addie sitting at the table, who then smiles at me revealing a black mouth full of black teeth.




I immediately hung up the phone grabbed her began to wash her off but realized...... I had to take a picture. Then I called poison control. I know, wouldn't you do that first? I was pretty sure water colors weren't poisonous. Oils, that would not be good, Acrylics hmmm not the worse, but not the safest. Just to be safe about the water colors though I called.

Addie was fine and I was left with a beautuful daughter who had a black mouth all day. Adorable!

Multi tasking just isn't my thing. Those who say, it's natural for a mom, I disagree. Still, it won;t stop me from trying.

What a little weirdo. I am sure glad you grabbed your camera. It makes a great story in the end. When all the mess is cleaned up.
