You must be wondering what this photo has to do with a big scare. Well, today there was a family moment that rocked my world to a point it is hard to talk about – and it resulted in my husband cleaning the stairs with KB in the Bjorn. I know you are intrigued.

The dryer buzzer went off and I jumped to go downstairs and hang up the permanent press clothes to minimize ironing. As I turned, my echolalic daughter came dancing into the kitchen chanting, “She has it in her mouth. She has it in her mouth.” Panic gripped me as I literally yelled, “She has WHAT in her mouth?” and honey and I sprinted into the den. There lay KB gagging with a piece of Cookie Crisp cereal in her mouth! Honey picked her up and I did the finger swoop to get it out – all danger averted but it really shook me up. Honey recovered first and said, “You gotta admit it was sweet that Little wanted to share her snack with her sister.” I don’t gotta admit anything – yet.
