My toddler has always been mischievous, but the other day he definitely put the icing on the cake!
I was working on some business stuff, when my son walked in my bedroom. He had a strange look on his face, and I could tell there was something in his mouth. So, I quickly asked him what it was that he had. I was pretty sure it was something he didn't need or knew he wasn't supposed to have.
He held his hand up to his mouth and spit it out. It was a ring... but not just any ring...it was my "wrap it up" ring. This is a large ring that I sell from Premier Designs and has several pieces that all look like they're wrapped around each other - it's indeed just one ring though that looks like several different rings pieced together. So, I punished him because he knows he isn't supposed to play with (or chew on) my jewelry.
When he was younger, I made the mistake of letting him play with my jewelry because I thought it was so cute when he would put my bracelets or necklaces on and say, "preeey." It's still cute but he has to learn what he can touch and can't touch. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes after being punished and said, "mama...arm....arm." As he pointed to his arm, I thought maybe he had done something to hurt his arm...but as I pulled his sleeve back there was my watch! I then understood that he was trying to communicate with me that he knew he wasn't supposed to have it on and he was willing to take it off.
All this to say, my ring now has teeth marks in it which unfortunately isn't covered under the company's guarantee. But, I think he now understands that he needs to leave mama's stuff alone. Here's hopin' ;)
