The Penny

Well, I had a little scare today..... Ethan swallowed a penny. You're probably thinking, "how typical, that kid always has something". Well at least I am. It happened in the funniest way too. He was being naughty while I was changing his diaper (as usual) and he had a handful of pennies. Well, he was yelling and laughing and one of the pennies dropped right down his throat! Let me tell you, it shut him up in a hurry! He panicked trying to get air, and I freaked, threw him over my leg and smacked his back. I couldn't tell if the penny came out or not, b/c there were about fifty other pennies already on the floor. I felt them all hoping one of them would be wet, but of coarse they weren't. So I had to take him to the doctor to make sure it wasn't lodged somewhere it shouldn't be. The x-ray was hilarious! It had already gotten down into his intestines. What a relief! New rule at the Millette house...NO MORE PLAYING WITH MONEY ETHAN!!!!
