Keys

Asher is by far my busiest and naughtiest child.  We have lots of his drawings on carpet, chairs, walls, pretty much anywhere there shouldn't be a drawing.  He is constantly trying to remove the child proof plugs from the outlets and stick things in them, he's even been shocked before and it still doesn't stop him.  He can figure out how to get to anything he wants by moving chairs and stools around.  He's such a little stinker.  We had a little incident almost two weeks ago.  I had been in the basement working out and the boys were down there with me.  Grey was playing on the computer and Asher was bouncing back and forth from watching Greydon to playing with toys.  I finished my workout, did a few things in the basement and then headed upstairs to fold clothes.  About 5 minutes later Asher came upstairs screaming and had his hand in his mouth.  When I got him to calm down enough to tell me what was wrong this is what he said, "it went all the way down, the key went all the way down."  I'm so confused, I asked Greydon what he was playing with and he didn't know.  He kept insisting something went down and was pointing to his throat.  I figured he swallowed something but wasn't sure what.  I called Paul and he first wanted to make sure it wasn't a battery or magnet which I knew for sure it wasn't because I'm very careful with those because I know how dangerous they are.  He thought I should take him in for an x-ray but for some reason I was a little hesitant.  I was mostly hesitant because I didn't know if he really swallowed something and I really dislike going to the doctors office for no reason.  I decided to show Asher some objects and have him tell me what they are.  I showed him a key and he said he didn't know, but I also had a screw in my hand and he grabbed that and said, "a key, this go all the way down".   So off to the doctors we go for an x-ray and sure enough there it was in his stomach.

The doctor said since it was less then 3 inches long we could just wait for it to pass.  Thankfully he is not potty trained yet and it passed 4 days later and I only had to "sift" through 2 diapers.  He is such a little stinker and the very next day we were at gymnastics and he found a dime on the floor and immediately stuck it in his mouth.  I seriously don't know what we are going to do with him.
