So what does Pyornkrachzark have to do with anything? Well, this is the character I think of when I watch Ben & Zach shoving rocks into their mouths. Remember the video clip a while back of Zach grinding his teeth? Well, listening to him and his brother gnawing on rocks isn't much better!
If it's not rocks then it's dirt, sticks, flowers, or whatever else they can get their mouths around. I was confident that after sampling these goodies a couple of times, they would decide it was all yucky and stop. I was so wrong. I guess I have a lot to learn about palates of the young.
While playing outside today, my boys found the lone puddle leftover from yesterday's rain. They walked through it, sat in it, splashed in it, threw rocks in it, and sampled many of the wet rocks from it. It was great to see how much they enjoyed themselves. I had fun taking pictures of them.
Darius was out fishing while all this was going on (caught two more halibut and one earlier in the day). I told him about the fun Ben & Zach had playing in the puddle. He looks at me and tells me that the puddle they were playing in wasn't leftover from the rain....it was the puddle he made when cleaning the fish he caught from this morning. How gross is that!? My stomach curls every time I think about. If I could barf on behalf of my boys, I gladly would. From now on I'll be sniffing all the puddles around the house before they play in them.
