Our daughter is a goat...


Sure, she's a Capricorn... symbolized by the goat... practical, ambitious, self-reliant. But more to the point, the kid will eat anything (see what I did there? Kid? Ha!).

I know that all babies put stuff in their mouths. Teething, exploring, learning... I get it. But this one? She eats shoes. Wets them to the point of necessitating wringing. She eats books. Literally gnaws chunks off them and tears the pages from the binders with her powerful jaws. Given the option, she would eat a cracker off the floor instead of the one on her tray 10 times out of 10.

Christmas is going to be a hoot... and a storm of wet, chewed, discarded wrapping paper. I love it...
