Biting, breastfeeding, and bottoms

emma_in_dreamBiting - The good news is no biting for two weeks now! Some whacks, mostly occasional but not a fang in sight. (OK, except today she repeatedly tried to chew the laptop and gave a small lick to my arm when I stopped her.)
Breastfeeding - Ruby is a champion! Life is so much easier with a child who feeds well. She even sleeps better, I think because she is comfortable.
Bottoms - We committed the ultimate social faux pas on Christmas Eve.
At Jenny’s place I found a strange, white substance on the floor. The adults conferred about what it could be. Looked like ice, felt like jelly, smelt like chemicals.
We prodded it and poked the sample I wiped up and put on the kitchen work surface.
‘It is some kind of artificial substance? Could it be from the new air conditioner?’
‘Could the new insulation be leaking?’
‘The texture feels like cellulose.’
‘Is it just me or is there an organic smell as well as the ammonia?’
Then the six year old pointed out that the trail of white smears followed Margaret wherever she went. Ah, a nappy had been so overfilled that it had exploded. It was the jelly crystals inside the lining of the nappy.
Then there was much hand washing and embarrassment that the small child had better deductive skills than the rest of us.
