So, a few weeks ago, we heard a great story that made us go, "really, someone would do that?" Here's how it goes.
A good friend of ours has a little boy whom they love love love. This little one is newly mobile, meaning he is getting into all sorts of mischief. One day while at his grandma's, he found the Glade Plug-In and thought it looked really interesting. While making sure to time it when no one was watching, this child who is not even 1 year old found his way to the plug in, and decided to taste it. When mommy saw what he was doing, she had a panic attack, ran over and finished off the plug-in herself before calling poison control.
Now any normal person might think, "Wow, not sure why anyone would do that!" We had a good laugh about the story, but in truth, tonight I am sitting here thinking about that crazy mother. While I can honestly say I would never have the "I want to experience what my child is going through so I will drink a plug-in" mentality, I realize a little more every day how precious our little boy is and how lucky I am to have not only a healthy child, but how lucky I am that I have the gospel in my life to understand that even if something happens, God loves my little one more than I do.
Just wanted to share that little thought. I love my little boy more than I thought possible. You hear that a lot, but it is so much more real when you have to watch your child go through something hard, big or little.
Anyways, just a thought.

What you've never tasted a Glade plug-in? Bath and Body Works is more your style.
