Nickel

This little cutie of mine decided to swallow a nickel yesterday while we were visiting Grandmama and Grandpa Wilcox.

Grandpa always gives the kids some change when they come over so they can put it in their piggy banks.  I had put Aubrey's in my pocket so she wouldn't lose it (looks like she'll lose something for sure) and Clayton put his in his pocket. 

I was in the kitchen makiug some dinner for a family that just moved into our ward and all of a sudden I hear Aubrey coughing, BAD!  I run in and my dad is holding her.  Looks like she found a cup and was pretending to drink something.  None of us knew what it was, so I was asking her.  At first she is really scared to tell me...who wouldn't be?  Grandpa, Grandmama and Mommy are all freaking out you're gonna choke to death on something.  She finally said it was "money".  And I am like, "great!!  I just read a friends blog about their son swallowing a quarter and having to go to the ER because it was stuck in his esaphogus.  What I am I going to have to do???" 

Well, she swallowed it all the way and she is acting normal.  So I am just going to have to up her juice and "laxative" food intake so that I know she is going to poop it out and I have to watch to make sure she isn't bloating or getting sick. 

OF COURSE she is the first one to be silly like this!  On the way home, Clayton was tell Aubrey, "Aubrey money is not for your tummy!  It is for your piggy bank!"  What a smart kid he is!
