Today, among other things, Jack:
Tried to eat a dead moth. It made it into his mouth before I could get it away. (Ewww.)
Ate 10 crackers
Ate 3.5 Tbs. of peas.
Gagged.
Vomited 3.5 Tbs. of peas, followed by 10 crackers. (Green vomit. Ewww.)
Tried to eat more peas while I was cleaning up the puke. (Not the previously eaten ones, thank god.)
Finally succeeded in eating more peas (and 1/2 a hot dog, ketchup, 1/2 a pear, and a bunch of shredded cheese) after I had cleaned him and completely stripped him.
Discovered that since he was eating naked, it would be fun to smear some ketchup on his chest and tummy.
Had to have an after lunch bath because all of the shredded cheese he lost while putting it into his mouth stuck to the body ketchup. (Why oh why did I not take a picture of this?)
Had a stranger come up and grab his foot to try to "help" me put him in the grocery cart. This seriously pissed me off. I put down his grocery cart cover and as I was putting him in, I realized I had forgot to put down the...foot-hole blocker-thingy on the cart. (What's that called?) I forget to do this all the time. I reached down to lower it, so I could get him the rest of the way in, when this lady walks up and grabs Jack's foot and starts pulling on it. I asked her, semi-nicely-to please let go of my son's foot. She gave me a confused look and kept on tugging. I asked her again, not so nicely this time, to let go of Jack's foot and back off. She finally let go, and in an affronted voice said, "I was only trying to help you get his foot unstuck." I replied, "Ma'am, his foot wasn't stuck, and you really shouldn't walk up and grab a baby's foot like that." She gave me a dirty look and walked away. I am sure she meant well, but you just don't walk up to a stranger's kid and grab him like that. She could have, I don't know, asked, if I needed help? As for Jack, it was the first time I have ever seen him freaked out by a stranger. He will usually talk to (or even go to) anyone. But when she grabbed his foot, he looked quite alarmed. Of course, he could have been reacting to my mood, but still. Okay, I will stop ranting now.

ok..funny..no..hilarious about the ketchup...creapy about the weird lady that grabs random baby feet...
Great blog entry! Poor Jack ... what an adventurous day he had. And seriously, the foot-grabbing lady sounds like a real fruitcake.
So, it's been a while since I rode in a cart (I miss those days--shopping was much simpler). But as I recall the "foot-hole blocker-thing" is actually the seat, right? Like, it folds down and then the person in the cart gets to sit on it. And it actually blocks the holes because it has to fold up. So I think "fold-up plastic seat thingy" would also describe it. Or am I thinking of another part of the cart?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right Jesse. But I didn't know if it had a techincal term or not. Because, theoretically, one could still sit if that part is missing.
