I was trying to put Emma down for a nap in the bedroom today, and was snuggling her up, hoping that would help. She was having trouble falling asleep and Jordan was in and out of the room making lots of noise. I finally told him to go get his ball. That's what we tell him when we need to buy a couple of minutes away from him, because he'll go searching and will often get distracted before he actually finds a ball. So Jordan left the room and came back in a couple minutes later with a brown liquid on his face and some on his shirt. He was giggling and acting like he did something naughty as he climbed up on the bed with us. I grabbed him and sniffed his breath. I don't know what's worse: knowing that your baby just drank coffee at 4pm or realizing that your 17 month old child actually enjoyed the taste of cold coffee.
Later in the evening, we had a second miss-a-sippy. We were all in the living room when Jordan jumped over me and smashed his mouth on Dave's knee. He started bleeding, so Dave jumped up and grabbed him a sippy cup full of water, a paper towel and of course some Jelly Bellies (is that really the plural of Jelly Belly?) to make it all better. Jordan put the JB's in his mouth and took a sip of water, then took the jelly beans out of his mouth and wiped them off on the paper towel. He paused a moment, then put the jelly beans back in his mouth. It was so weird! It wasn't until he got excited and shook up his cup that we figured out what happened. "What is he drinking?!"... "Uh.... It looks like soap.... Yep, that's soap."
