We have a big pile of dirt in our backyard that has gotten smaller & smaller over the past year as we have planted our garden, blueberry bushes, pear, cherry, dogwood, magnolia and Japanese cherry trees. When the boys go out to play, they DIG. Cody still loves to eat the dirt...and I mean big handfuls, and not just once and he's done...This can make a little guy thirsty...So then, he looks for puddles to get a sip...Yes, disgusting right? He's building a strong immune system, right? I sure hope so...and I hope he gets out of this stage real soon, because it'll be a long summer, chasing after him while playing outside.
And for those of you wondering if he has PICA, We tested his blood and his Iron levels are normal...so it's just an impulse he's going to have to learn to ignore...Hopefully sooner than later
