foster has this thing where he loves dirt.
well he hates dirt, but he loves to pick it up.
well he hates dirt, but he loves to pick it up.
pick it up and hand it to me, or put it in the trash can, or in the sink, etc.
the tiniest, most minute crumb or stray piece of lint does not elude him.
at any rate, the dirt in question must be promptly removed from his sight at once. he makes sure of it. might i add that our house is usually pretty clean, in fact the entire house was vacuumed just last night...
but as usual, mealtime brings crumbs a-plenty...and on this particular morning, breakfast brought an accidental ceramic plate crashing to the floor and shattering into 1,000 pieces.

(just what you want with a toddler toddling around.) after vacuuming incessantly, i felt confident that i had gotten it all.
then comes lunch.
finally, foster has eaten and is playing contently with his new 18-wheeler trucks.

rowan is sleeping soundly.
i happily take the time to make a scrumptious and healthy salad...complete with my all-time favorite toppings: almond slivers, grilled chicken and these delicious lightly salted tortilla strips (which are the best thing ever invented second only to cheese curls).
as i am cherishing the last few bites of my delectable salad...slowly devouring each morsel as i have a few moments to email and eat in relative peace and quiet (ever the multi-tasker)...
i hear out of the corner of my ear: "yuck" followed by silence.
i then see out of the corner of my eye, foster throwing something into my precious plate of salad.
before i realize what has transpired, i hear a small, yet distinctive "ding!"
ah, yes. a little piece of ceramic dives into the depths of the leafy greens, completely undetectable. no amount of searching will provides it's sharp and un-edible location.

although dismayed that there was a stray piece of ceramic on the floor, i was further distraught at the thought of my ruined salad. now granted, i was nearing the end of the salad, but this was a really, really good salad.
alas, no time to craft another.
no time to eat anything else for lunch.
the remainder of the day calls.
i'll try later...after i vacuum again :)
