Eating Foam

Friday, 12 September 2008

Chase has been eating everything, from crackers to foam mats. All of a sudden he's started putting things in his mouth again. He hasn't done that for months. A lot of it is to get a reaction though. He'll stand there with a rock and make like he's going to put it in his mouth, while making sure I'm looking, just to hear me say, "Not for Chase." Lately, he's been taking bites out of the foam borders from his alphabet mat and foam thing we have laying around the house. At least he's good about giving it to me after he takes a bite out of it. I swear we feed the kid. Honest.

We went to the mall to wait for Chris after his evening haircut. Stopped by Whole Foods and ran into an old high school friend and my cousin's friend Traci. It's always nice catching up with people you haven't seen in years. We also ran into the Halsalls and another friend (actually their family dentist they grew up with), Bruno, a thrillseeking traveler who shared his crazy tales of heliskiing and diving and avalanches.

We had dinner with the Halsalls at Panda Express. Then Chase ran around the mall until we decided we better get home because it was way past his bedtime. Thank goodness the weekend if finally here.
