More adventures in Toddledum.
Nora has taken to liking soap, any kind of soap. Bottled, bar, liquid, detergent, you name it she's got to have it. Problem being she wants to EAT it! So far I've caught her playing in my box of Tide like a sandbox a half dozen times. She's tried to eat it once. Yuck! Not to worry we did call in some advice to the Nana on that one since she's a nurse. No harm done.
Then today I was unloading the dishwasher and all the soap hadn't washed out of the compartment. I turn around to see Nora stick her finger in it and then into her mouth. She then smiled at me and went back for more. The audacity and stubborness of toddlers astounds me some days.
Typically 'punishment' would be washing out the mouth with soap but it's already in her mouth! And she doesn't seem to mind. So now I must find a correct 'no' punishment for soap in the mouth....

When Alex eats things that I don't want him to, I spray his mouth out with the cold hose water. It's awesome.
Is Nora short on some sort of nutrient that is found in soap? :)
OHHH, I like it 'Chinese Water Torture' for toddlers...AWESOME!
