Let's play a game...

Debuting for the first {and hopefully last} time on my blog is (say it with enthusiasm)...

WILL. IT. DIGEST!

If any of you took a psychology class in either high school or college, you might remember learning about Freud's stages of development (exciting I know, trust me it's about to get better). Well the first stage in development is the oral stage. What goes in the hand usually goes straight in the mouth. Well, in Macie's case, what goes in the hand, goes in the mouth, goes in the stomach, and out into the diaper. To quote Forrest Gump but with a twist -changing Macies diapers is like a box of chocolates....you never know what your going to get.

So thanks to Macie & her amazing digestive system, the game WILL.IT.DIGEST! was born. Here's a list of normal, non-edible, everyday items that I've found in her diapers.

Now on with WILL.IT. DIGEST!

Crayons- not digestible

Stickers- partially digestible

Foam- not digestible

Paper- almost digestible

More crayons- still not digestible

Wrappers- digestible

Books- digestible (kind of)

Sand- definitely not digestible

Dirt- not digestible

Small rocks- not digestible

Chalk- almost digestible

Flip-flops- not digestible

Bouncy balls- not digestible

Kitty-litter- not digestible, but very hard to see

Tin foil- definitely not digestible

A handful of craft beads- 100% non-digestible

And last, but definitely not least.

We have not 1, not 2, not even 3, but 4 of these jell type cockroach sling shots! Check out the size of the suckers!

These are, without a doubt, 110% non-digestible in any way or form. I found 4 of these little, actually, not quite so little buggers in her diaper...WHOLE! I about died seeing what had just come out of my little child. Then my thoughts went from amazement to -how the heck did she not choke on these bugs. Obviously they were quite easy to swallow seeing as she ate 4 of them. Oh, my child! I'm surprised she's still alive or doesn't have some rare disease with the things she has eaten. And it just keep escalating. She keeps moving up to bigger and better things to swallow.

So here's a couple of other things she has tried to eat, but failed to do so.

She's tried many times to eat her crib, but her attempts were foiled when I put masking tape around the edges. Odds are she'll find a way to eat the tape too.

Then we have the batteries from my remote. It is probably one of her favorite things to chew on. She's pretty naughty about it too. She will grab the remote when I'm not looking, run out of site and bang the back of the remote so the batteries fall out and then shove them in her mouth...she's a sneaky little poo.

Batteries I'm sure would not be digestible and they probably wouldn't come out as easy as say, 4 toy bugs.
So before you run off and start diagnosing my child, just know that even though I find this quite amusing, I'm actually quite worried and I will be following up with my pediatrician. And I do try to watch her as close as I can, but she's a fast little sucker.

It's kind of funny, I've always said that Macie's my best eater, she'll eat just about anything. Ha, that couldn't be more true.

And by the way, the next stage of Freud's development is the anal stage (not to be gross, this is merely for educational purposes only. I just like to keep my readers informed). I'm hoping that we can just skip over the anal stage, since what goes in must come out. I isn't that like killing two birds with one stone?

Thanks for playing my little game of WILL.IT.DIGEST! I hope you enjoyed it half as much as I did.
