Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted. We've started homeschooling (gasp!) and Tanith is now a year old, walking, and being a little hellion. I never thought twice about her brother and sister putting things in their mouths, but she is a different story.
What makes dog food so appealing? I've tasted it before and it tasted like dirt. Dirt and ass. Dirty ass. Maybe that's why dogs like it. So why does the baby want to eat it? I put her down, no matter what part of the house, and within seconds, her mouth is full of kibble and her foot is in the water bowl. This has become her favorite thing in the entire world. Well, second favorite. Second to only boobs.
Yes, boobs. I am nursing a one year old. Surprised? Neither am I. For some reason, this is scandalous to many people. Most of my family has learned to shut up or avoid me completely. People say dumb things, like "if she can ask for it, she's too old!"
No. No. Nooooo! She could ask for it with a unique cry from birth. She wasn't too old for it then. She still isn't. Most mammals nurse until they get their adult teeth. Is she a mammal? I think so. Shut up about it, put the blanket down, and back away slowly. Udder covers, hooter hiders, and the like also anger me. Like any mobile baby will allow you to put a blanket over their face.
"But what about unhealthy attachments? You can't let your children get too attached to you." Because why? One day, I might decide I don't want to be their mother anymore? I'd rather have my children emotionally attached to me instead of a pacifier, blanket, or stuffed animal.
And now I must go. Tanith's cry for neee-neeee has rang out and awakened every animal in the house. Even the ones without ears.
