sharing is good...most of the time

mae's entry:

I was putting Elliot to bed tonight and I could just barely see in the dark that he had most of his hand in his mouth - it looked like he was sucking on all 4 fingers, and I'm sure if there were space for his thumb, he would have included it too.

So I gently removed his hand and said not to suck on his fingers.

Before I knew what hit me, I had a couple of wet fingers halfway in my mouth, with Elliot exclaiming "You try!"

Blech. Not surprisingly, he found my disgust amusing (I attribute this to his being male) and tried his luck again. Ah, wet fingers with germs. The gift that keeps on giving!
