Ellie got her report card -- all E's, except for an S in handwriting. I cannot get the girl to slow down and write nicely. I know it's possible.
Nate is happy to be back with his buddies at Boy School and the gym. He built me a castle.
Sadie is very independent and likes to run around and we never really know where she is because she is so stealthy! Easter Sunday the kids were all running around and being wild and Sadie would wander in and out -- freaking out every once in awhile because she's scared of the dog -- and at one point no one knew where she was. I went on a hunt and found her. . . sitting by the dog food bowl and her mouth was packed full of DOG FOOD!
I flipped out which of course made her burst into tears, but whatever, I wanted to get all of that nastiness out of her mouth. Then everyone else started telling me it was no big deal and that every kid has eaten dog food in their life. First off, I don't think I've ever eaten dog food and I can't remember Nate or Ellie eating dog food. So are we just freakish? Maybe just because we don't have a dog?
So I want to know -- have your kids ever eaten dog food?

Are you serious? Brady eats it at least every other day. And my dogs eat this food that is all natural and it's fish and sweet potatoe. Nasty!! He also really enjoys the cat treats that we give our cat. I think the bigger deal we make out of it the more he's inspired to do it, so we just shrug our shoulders! We better not get Sadie and Brady together any time soon :)!
My Uncle Joe used to eat dog food to freak us out!
No, but I've got you beat. Carly ate dog POOP once thinking it was chocolate.
Dog food is a staple until you are about 18 months here. Well, no...uuhm, maybe 20 months. Cash hasn't had it for about a month....KNOCK ON WOOD!! So that would be 20. It smells awful and they still love it. They also enjoyed dipping their pacifiers in the water side of the bowl and sucking the water off. Nasty I know! Funny thing is they have never gotten sick from it. Yet, I got ghiarrdea (or however you spell that) and the doctor asked me (kiddingly) if I had been sharing a bowl with my dog. I told him he's man's best friend. I hope he knew I was kidding. Really I was! Gives me heebie jeebies filling it up for them every day let alone thinking of tasting it!
And at least Cassey feeds her dogs and kids natural stuff. Ours dogs for sure get chemically filled and colored food. Nasty nasty nasty....
All 3 of my girls eat (ate) quite a bit of dog food when we visited my parents if they were between crawling and about 3 years old. :) They've lived to tell about it...it just tastes gross.
Oooh, Sadie and Brady would be ADORABLE together now that I think about it ;D
Chelsea -- I have no idea what ghiarrdea is, but I'm laughing so hard because it sounds like some sort of STD and you admitted it on my blog. So now you have to tell me what on earth it is!!!! I obviously know it's not an STD, but you have to admit it sort of looks like clamydia and gonnorhea combined! And my spell-check thing says I spelled all of those wrong, LOL!
So I asked Dustin if he had heard of ghiarrdea and he knew how to pronounce it -- which I didn't. So I asked him what it was and he said, "I don't know. An STD?"

Dogfood? I grew up on dogfood. This lady I used to work with used to give her milkbones when they were teething. So I wouldn't feel too bad about it. It's packed with nutrients just like cereal, right?
yeah--you're a freak! ha ha dallas ate dog's jerky. so funny. but yeah, i think eating dog food is pretty normal for a little kid.
i'm dying to know what your friend had--i'm guessing some sort of foul diarrhea mixed with an std. LOL
I ate dog food when I was a kid, about 5 years old, and I survived. Ew. I'm sure my kids have snuck a taste here and there at other peoples houses. Double Ew.
Neville eats it all the time, but he is a dog so I don't think that counts.
2 out of my four kids have eaten dog food. I'm sure once baby girl starts moving she will have her share as well. Did you ever find out what your friend had? I'm going to have to google that or something.
Oh my gosh I have never laughed sooooo hard in my life. BWAHHAHAHAA!! Oh wow. Where do I start to even have people not think I am crazy. Oh boy..........Really, I can't type I am laughing so hard. Turns out, it's giardia. I added an H I guess to make it seem classy. Which then led to it sounding like an STD. Giardia is a PARASITE!! We named mine Gary for short. And I have to say I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I GOT IT FROM!! I had gone hiking, but didn't drink anyones water, nor the trickle of water maybe flowing in the dried out stream....(South Mountain has no water when it is 187 degrees outside), and I worked in a fancy hair salon. We served nice water there. So who knows. They also say you can get it from (ANYONE WHO GETS THE GAG REFLEX EASILY SKIP THIS>>>>)"fecal to mouth" but I would hope you all know I wouldn't eat the dogs poop!
I guess I should have put, "my friend" got giardia and then you all would be like, "ooh sick, her friend had that." But now you are all thinking, "oohh, sick, a friend of Maddy's has a classy form of an STD called ghiardia and she doesn't know how she got it. That _________ (insert bad name here)!!"
OH BOY! Why on earth did I tell the world I had this? I tend to share too much info I suppose! (Oh wait...you all probably knew that one already!) Really, all those who don't know me...I am VERY clean, and have GREAT hygeine. REALLY I DO!! Oh gosh...I have gone on to long about this.
But while on the topic of STD's,in Seminary we had to watch a movie about them. And the phycologist always would say that the main answer he would get from everyone was, "but we love eachother!" So yes, while I love my dog...I DO NOT EAT ITS FOOD, ITS WATER, NOR HIS POOP!!!!
Oh crap, I just made it seem like an STD again...really, It is a PARASITE!!!! Here is the wikepidea link:

*don't forget the a that dropped down.
Really, I am normal.....
Oh my gosh Chelsea, I am laughing so stinking hard! I'll seriously think about it at odd times and just start giggling and everyone around me thinks I'm crazy. You are so funny!
Like right now I'm laughing and Nate looks are me, "What?" How do I explain a parasite/STD confusion to a 3 year old?
I love you! Thanks for making me laugh even harder with your explanation!
My wife is a crazy lady! haha
i've most definitely eaten dog food.and fish food. ashley has a funny story about eating dog food! ask her about it!
hahahahahaha . . . Chelsea, I don't know you, but I think we would get along great! Your backtracking/explaining sounds like something I would do! I'm sorry to laugh at your parasite, but you made a good story!
Maddy, any child who has ever come in contact with a dog's food or water dish, under a specific age, has tasted the contents thereof! I promise! I even have a photo of my nephew, Mason, when he was about 18 months old . . .he was strapped into a booster seat, on the floor, so that he would sit in one place, to eat his cookie. Well, not to be outsmarted, he got down on all fours, like he had seen the dog do, and crawled to the doggie bowl of water, with the booster seat strapped to his back! TRUE story!
Maybe Sadie won't be a picky eater, when she gets older, if she doesn't mind eating dog food! :)
