Tuesday morning was the only time I had to clean the house after entertaining friends and family from last LAST weekend's festivities. Naturally, Fifi, did not get the memo and refused to go down for a nap while the others were in preschool. I sat her down in the middle of our kitchen surrounded by Tupperware and spoons. She kept busy for some time. I got lost in my work. Minutes passed by and I heard her. "Mmmmmm..." Fifi mumbled. "This? This? Mmmmmm...." She had made her way to our pantry, pushed opened the doors, and had managed to grab everything off of the bottom shelf. It was a smorgasbord for the toddler. Boxes of goldfish overturned, Kix cereal spilled, Capri Suns missing straws, and Fifi amidst the chaos smiled up at me with a yellow streak of saliva dripping from her chin. "This? This? Mmmmmm...." Fifi mumbled and it was clear she had something in her mouth. I looked into her mouth, finger swept, and pulled out a hard yellow grain. What the heck is this? I searched around her to see where this grain came from. I pushed aside wrappers, boxes, and bags of snacks. Finally I found it. Fully aware that babies aren't allowed to have peanut butter, shell fish, and berries at this age I turned the bag over to read the ingredients. "... has a unique and powerful antioxidant combination and an enhanced level of natural DHA. It provides precise nutrition for a complete foundation giving your puppy the best start in life. Formulated for puppies up to 12 months, also for pregnant and nursing dogs." Thank goodness, I exhaled. She has totally had DHA before, in her organic vitamin D milk. (DHA is an ingredient found in mother's milk) Just to be safe I called our doctor. "Hi. My one year old daughter is a patient of the incredibly patient Dr. HateswhenIcallwithstupidquestions and ummm. Well. She just swallowed some dog food. Should I be worried?" I whispered. I can only imagine the notes the nurse took. Our doctor files keep growing fatter and fatter with each passing day. |
