Edibles...

You know, I have been thinking. Since having my first child, who is now 3, I considered going into a business to create edible items for kids. It never failed that I would bathe her and then apply that wonderful smelling lotion, only for her to attempt to lick it off my hands. As I rub it on her face, she just sticks out her tongue. Now the wiser, Kayla I distract to apply lotion to her face, then quickly stopped myself the other day from making my way down her arms to her tiny little hands. Hands which very quickly enter her mouth at every chance they get. Not smart, I thought, to put it on her hands, just to end up in her mouth.

Maybe I should invest in organic lotion, so maybe whatever is ingested could at least, possibly be found in nature in some form. If I was business savvy, I could attempt to launch my own product. Come to think of it, why stop with lotion. All things should have an edible version! My 3 year old also licks chap stick from her lips....she just put the pump of the hand sanitizer in her mouth tonight. Only a small amount got onto her tongue; luckily she made a horrible face and after I made her stick out her tongue to wipe any remains off, hopefully she will not want to try that again. Toothpaste is another item not safe around Olivia. She has eaten almost a half tube of hers before and even tried dad's. Luckily, hers states "safe to swallow", but I am not sure they mean half a tube! That is the downside of making things taste good, I guess.

If only Billy Mays were still alive, we could launch a product...just another of those missed opportunities!
