Last night Hayden was "helping" to set the table by getting out salsa, baked beans, peaches, stewed tomatoes, and all sorts of spices. We has spaghetti with meat sauce, so you be the judge as to whether or not he will be the next Gordon Ramsey.
As he was setting the table, he came across the gum that we keep in the pantry. Before I could say no, he had it unwrapped. I grabbed it just as it was going in his mouth. Luckily, dinner was ready so I replaced the gum with food.
After dinner, since the gum was unwrapped already, Libby and I decided to let him try it out. As it turned out, he did a pretty descent job not wanting to swallow it. After a few minutes he started to try and swallow it, so I had him spit it out.
Hopefully it won't be a daily fight to keep him from chewing gum.
