Apparently my daughter has decided that her sister and brother's chalk makes a great snack! I wish I had pictures but I usually forget to take my camera next door.
I try to remember and put the chalk easel up on top of the table where she can't reach it when I know I am going to be there a little while. As soon as we get there, it's the very first place she goes.
Three days in a row she has managed to sneak a few pieces. The first day her face was dripping purple, I pulled a red and a blue that she had hidden in her fat little cheeks.
Yesterday, Dennis carried her out in the kitchen and asked what it meant when Mimi is drooling bright green... I coaxed out a blue and a green piece but she was not happy about giving it up! Today, she managed to find a random blue one and toddled out with blue lips crunching away happily. YUCK! Chalk cannot taste good! I have no idea why she is so intent on eating it! Initially it was probably the bright colors that intrigued her, but she keeps doing it and once she has it she does not want to give it up!!
I can't seem to get it through to her that chalk is not food! Oy...
