Buchela's Inedible Habits

Sometimes I am astonished by what I find my son loves to eat.

A while back he had a lint habit. He used to pick them off sweaters, put them in his mouth, and pretend to chew on them. Thankfully, he stopped.

Then he picked up toilet paper.

Yes, toilet paper.

He still takes a big bite when I wipe his nose!

And no, we have not figured out how to stop it.

I am starting to suspect our horrified reaction has a lot to do with him continuing to perform this stunt because he laughs every time. We may have to put him through the 12 steps to get him to stop this strange addiction!

Just the other day, we discovered he loves something we never suspected he'd like.

Hubby and I were in a deep conversation about god knows what when we noticed Buchela has gone to the other side of the living room where he was out of sight and heartily smacking his lips loud enough for us to hear.

"He is eating something!" I yelled alarmed.

We rush and find him on top of our small dinning table where we thought we have placed our coffee maker out of his reach.

He had managed to open the coffee maker and he was gleefully eating the coffee grounds leftover from his father's morning cup of Joe. There was hardly anymore in the filter!

Since then the little maniac has been trying to get to the coffee maker.
