He picks stuff up off the floor and eats it all the time, before I can do anything about it. Yesterday, Hubs caught him licking his rainboots after he came in from playing in the snow.<BR/><BR/>And you know what? He's been sick FAR less than his germ-free sister was at that age!<BR/><BR/>Try not to sweat it. :)Suburban Turmoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788867412080827567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-59868939896413107852009-03-02T07:57:00.000-05:002009-03-02T07:57:00.000-05:00The first time I ever took my son to the park and ...The first time I ever took my son to the park and actually let him touch the grund (he was almost a year old) he ate an entire handful of dirt.<BR/><BR/>I used to worry a lot more about germs and stuff - how I've just kind let it go.

I think it all works out and a few germs are actually a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-53907473082276209412009-03-02T06:09:00.000-05:002009-03-02T06:09:00.000-05:00ah, i had forgotten this bit of going out with tho...ah, i had forgotten this bit of going out with those conflicting needs of wanting your child to explore the world and simultaneously wishing they wouldn't! well, all i can comfort with is that my attention was probably much less focused, divided between three... and they HAVE SURVIVED! there is probably still a bit of pine cone stuck in someone's insides, but what the heck! they're growing up close to nature! xGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.com
