Welcome back and thanks for sticking with me! My next phrase I never thought I would say involves a blue tongue and stairs. I'll never understand the way the mind of a child works, but it can be quite entertaining!

                                  Don't Lick the Stairs!!!

Sophie and I had been running errands one morning while Lucy was in school. At one stop, she got a blue raspberry icee drink which turned her tongue blue. 
When we got home, she sat down on the steps to take her shoes off. As I was heading up the stairs, I happened to look down at Sophie and watched her lean down and lick the stairs! Did I mention our stairs are carpeted? Uh-huh. And then I proceeded to say "Sophie! Don't lick the stairs!" And her reply was, "but I wanted to see if my tongue was blue." And of course, there was a blue line on the stairs where she had just licked. She was quite proud of herself and pointed to the step and said, "Look! It is blue!" 

As I said it, I knew I needed to write it down. Definitely something I never thought I would say!
