Adornment

Eversince Ian knows how to grab things and eats anything in his hand and close to his mouth, I stopped using fashion jewelry especially earrings - the kind that I have, with beads and blings. I am not just scared of him licking them (they might contain paint with lead) or actually sucking them but also grabbing and leaving my ear lobes cut in two. I do still wear earrings though but I chose the finest dangling that I've got. I actually do have a pair wich locks that can't be undone even if pulled by a baby (just I thought) but I gave them up to my mother.

Anyway, that's how having a baby leave you, un-adorned at all - for his safety and for your sake.
