One day several weeks back, Owen walked in on me while I was getting ready for work. He happened to walk in while I was gargling with my peroxide. (Don't knock it until you try it...it's not only great for killing germs in your mouth and throat, thus helping avoid colds, but it also is great for preventing gingivitis.) Anyway, he saw me gargling and thought that was one of the funniest things he had ever seen. I thought nothing of it at the time, so I would invite him in every morning to watch me gargle, just because he got such a kick out of it.
Well, he loved it SO much that he became determined to figure out how to do it himself. As of last week, he figured it out. He gargles now, quite well. This is not remarkable, except that now he gargles all the time. Doesn't matter what time of day, what he's drinking, where he's drinking it. He will take a drink with his cup, gargle it for several seconds, then swallow. HE DOES THIS FOR EVERY DRINK HE TAKES. It was pretty funny at first, and it still makes me laugh to see him do it and look so proud when he finishes. It does get tiresome and annoying after a while, though...and you can't make him stop.
Nothing like a nice lesson in care regarding what you demonstrate to your kids, eh? Thanks for reading along.
