Kicking the habit
Colin has to chew on everything - he even has a shirt that confirms that fact. How do you possibly break kids of this habit? Apparently the experience of chewing on things that most people wouldn’t want to chew on hasn’t done the trick. He chews on his toys, he chews on his shoes, he chews on the side tables in our living room…and keeps on doing it over and over again.
I’m sure this is just one of those first-time parents things, and with a second child you just don’t care, but I’d love to move away from this. I just hate the thought of his gnawing on those shoes after he’s walked around for a while somewhere.
Another interesting habit I’m sure Colin doesn’t want me to blog about is a bathtime thing. Trying to get this guy to drink something during the day is always a chore, but as soon as he gets in the bath, if I’ve left a cup in there, he’ll start slurping down lukewarm bath water. Can’t quite figure that one out, but the cups are officially out of the bath for now.
