That Was a CLOSE Call!

I should know better than to avoid silence when it comes to Bethany. If it's quiet and she's not in her bed asleep....something's up. Today I was cleaning out the car and I had set a pair of earrings and some gum on the kitchen counter and had gone into Shelby's room to put something up. I came back in the kitchen, after noticing the quietness, and immediately smelled something sweet and fruity...The gum! Where's the gum?! Then I saw four little gum wrappers on the table along with a great big grin on Bethany's cute little face! Yep, she was the culprit. She chewed and SWALLOWED FOUR PIECES OF GUM!!! A few minutes later after playing in her room, she comes back into the kitchen with something in her mouth. Like I do one hundred times a day I say, "Bethany, what's in your mouth?" She spits out ONE earring. I panic and ask where the other one is (the whole time she's just a grinnin'). Adam and I kept asking her where the other earring was thinking she had surely swallowed it and finally Bethany looks under Adam's chair and picks up the earring! Phew!! Crisis averted...well, hopefully anyway. I hope that gum doesn't clog her up!
