Since becoming a mother, lots of experienced mom's have given me advise and told me of things to be aware of, or look forward to, or dread. One of those things has been crawling. Once they're on the move...apparently all hell breaks loose!
Lucky for us, Kynley held off really crawling until a couple of days ago. And of course since we have come back home from our U.S. trip, she has been flying around the house like a wild banshee exploring everything. I was ok with it, thought I was keeping a good eye on her, until today.....
I was sitting at my computer in our main living area Skyping my sister, while Kynley was crawling on the floor around my feet. Shanyn and I were discussing her first birthday party when I notice things were very quiet. I turned around to find my child stuffing wet cat food into her mouth as fast as she could! In total horror I whipped around, grabbed her off of the floor (scaring her half to death), cat food went flying everywhere. I started frantically trying to get the cat food out of her mouth in between fits of laughter. It was apparent to me that was she actually enjoying the cat food and was not happy I was doing this to her. *barf* Tex ran in and helped me clean her off. We fed her some water and banana to hopefully help her get the taste out of her mouth (not that she was upset about it), and she went on being her happy little self, seemingly unscathed by the whole thing, while I sit here scared for life!
So yes. I have learned my lesson. Yes, my child ate cat food. This was that mommy moment I was warned about. Well, one of them at least. Hopefully I have learned enough from this one so I don't have to go through another (yea right).
Hopefully all of you other mommies enjoy this story, as I know you all have similar ones to it. And for those of you with out children, just beware, it could happen to you too ;)
