It’s been a while, so I think it’s about time for another
edition of “Story Time With Eli.” As a child, I can
remember thinking that Dennis the Menace was really a bad kid. But now that I’m
raising a Little Dennis of my own, I’ve come to realize that sometimes boys are
just “spirited.” Ha!
Eli doesn’t mean any harm, and his little shenanigans aren’t
always a product of disobedience. (Although sometimes they are, but we chose
not to discuss those.) Anyway, Eli just
doesn’t always think things through, a trait that keeps me in hysterics half of
the time and leaves me wanting to pull my hair out the other half.
I was reading to Ellie tonight in the family room when I
heard a commotion and hacking from my bedroom where the boys were watching a
basketball came. I could hear Eli
gagging and Eric asking him what he had swallowed.
As you can imagine, my heart sank. Terrified, I sat Ellie down and ran to the
back of the house with a bottled water only to find a crying Eli, and a not –so-amused
Eric. It was quickly determined that for
some unknown reason, Eli put a penny in his mouth at which point he proceeded
to accidentally swallow it!
He was tramatized until Eric explained the digestive track
and how the penny would have to come out.
The little boy in him was thrilled with biology and has since tried to
take a poopy whenever possible. Ha!
The kid is driving us bonkers wanting to know how long it
will be until his poop is orange, “like gold.”
He’s also informed us that he weighs more because the penny is heavy in
his belly, and that it scratched his throat going down which means that his
voice has changed.
There's never a dull moment around here!
