Penny For Your Thoughts

I believe I have mentioned in this forum that I am now eating solid foods. There have been many kinds - applesauce, pears, carrots, prunes, sweet potatoes, peas and so on. Some have been good, some have been not so good.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I have always been encouraged to eat new things. Apparently that doesn't apply to everything.

You see, yesterday, I found something on the floor and thought I would eat it. It was called a penny. Well, it didn't go very well. From the minute I put it in my mouth I knew something was amiss. It tasted terrible, and I couldn't get it down into my tummy. It just stuck in my throat.

So I started crying and Mommy and Daddy rushed me to the hospital. When we got there, Mommy took me into the ER and they burped me really hard and I hacked it up. I felt MUCH better after that. We had to stick around for a few X-Rays, but I got to go home right after that. It wasn't like the last time where I had to stay five days. That was really good.

You know what else was really good? Mommy. She is a doctor that specialized in just that kind of stuff, so she knew just what to do. She was also calm even though Daddy was really scared. She's the best Mommy in the world and I love her.

One last thing... they let me keep the penny. That's one for the scrap book.
