Yuck

There are some things only a Mother can get away with - they include: picking your baby's nose, smelling their butt, licking your hand to wipe their face, and using your sleeve to clean a surprise reflux attack. They are all gross and inappropriate; however, they are totally acceptable in the book of parenthood. Eating your baby's leftovers, on the other hand, can get down right nasty...

Eating already chewed pieces of tofu, puffs, broccoli and other foods that have fallen into the abyss of the highchair, and not hesitating for even a moment, is an act of Motherhood that I just can't explain; yet, it serves a few very practical purposes:

1) It's eco-friendly and supports recycling and renewable energy.
2) It allows me to be nourished as well.
3) It prevents the dog from eating too many scraps and throwing up on the carpet.

Today I caught myself getting an entire mid-afternoon snack on half-chewed puffs trapped in Livija's pants, and bits of tofu that were lodged in the creases of the highchair pad. That's just WRONG in so many ways...but, I was totally okay with it.

It's a never-ending battle, this motherhood thing. You finally get some of your groove back, and BANG,then you start eating regurgitated 1st foods.

Will I ever be a normal woman again?????
