Helen said I'd better my karma if I came & got caught up with our nov05 ddc thread.
spughy, what I would personally do is sternly say "Ow, don't pinch mama!" & not offer or respond to the post-pinching kisses. Xeowyn likes to try to scrape my moles off with his little razor nails. OMG that hurts! He's been doing it for months & months. I sternly say "Ow, don't scratch mama!" & push his hand away. Sometimes he stops for the rest of the day or so, sometimes not. Sigh. I remind myself that it's a phase. Sometimes he's so obsessed & I'm so fed up that I breastfeed him with my left arm held way up so he can't reach the stupid mole on the my arm!
His favorite time to try to scrape me to pieces is while bfeeding.
My cousin's 15 mo old loves to dig his scrapey nails deep into her arm pit while he's bfeeding!
Oh the joys of the abuse we get from our beloved children.
Xeowyn has had an explosion of new words lately! It's been so fun, & soooooo cute. He really wasn't saying a whole lot of words before, & never 2 word sentences. All of the sudden he's saying new words almost every day, & started saying "all gone!", his 1st 2 words put together.
He's a major copy cat & will repeat the last word of any sentence he overhears which is so funny. I'll say "How's it going?" to my other kids & he'll pipe up & say "GOING!" And my older kids entertain themselves by trying to get him to say things like "Duck butt" & "mama's booty". It has been so cute & fun.
He's also being aware of when he's about to pee, or right afterwards & will grab his diaper & say "pee pee!". So we're going to experiment with a potty chair soon.
The weather's been hottie hot, so he's been enjoying running around naked in the backyard, playing with dirt clods & other fun toddler games.
My DH was worried that the chickens would mistake his penis for a worm so asked that I diaper him when the chickens are out.
I'm 11 weeks along today & feeling much better than I did a month ago, but still far from normal. Food still grosses me out & I'm tired but not sleeping well. But I am still breastfeeding with no problems (
: 
: ) & I have a belly bump!! 
My exciting plans for today are to clean stuff. That's really about it.

Truthfully, I don't worry about it. I figure, people have been living with chickens for a zillion years, Xeowyn doesn't lick his feet, lol, & we always wash our hands & feet the moment we step inside. I rarely wear shoes myself. SHOES are yucky!!
factory farms that are filthy & neglected & spread diseases such as avian flu & then make it all worse by giving all the animals antibiotics with every meal so the bacteria become ever more immune & it's a vicious cycle & I HATE the huge inhumane corporations & how they are ruining our world!!!
So this will be like our second date since Brynn's birth. Yippee!
Go eat something yummy, and enjoy.
What am I going to DO????????
