Babywearing gone horribly, horribly right.

Our child is a little thief. Removing a card from your wallet? He will deftly snatch it from your fingers so smoothly you'd swear you didn't just watch him do it. Washing dishes? The scrub brush will end up scrubbing your neck. Blowing your nose? He'll eat the kleenex before you've fully removed it from the box.

So it was no surprise that he grabbed the pepper shaker as Tom was straightening up the counter today. What *was* a surprise was that he licked the top. The very peppery top. For at least 20 minutes. I think he was shaking it to get more pepper out.

S. loves to sniff the pepper grinder. The pepper crumbs up his nose don't seem to bother him.

Children are weird.

He'll be smothering himself in butter next.

Yes, but can he handle Old Bay? Hmmm? :):)

Maybe you should pepper your nipples before he nurses?

Hahah... we called Carmen our Crumb Snatcher since her little arm would shoot out from the pouch and snag ANYTHING that caught her interest even when we thought she was asleep. It was like wearing a little tentacley monster.

Carmen really likes spicy stuff, too!!! She can eat stuff that makes me go "NEED WATER!"

Make him even cuter, teach him to snaffle valuable things from strangers. Reward him with more pepper.

Everyone else is saying how cute that is, while I'm thinking, "Note to self: do not use salt and pepper shakers if I ever eat at their place."

Yeah, I was grossed out, too, and he's my kid. We don't keep shakers on the table. We put out a salt mill and a pepper mill. The pepper shaker in question was the one we bought with pre-ground pepper. It wasn't reusable, so it's been discarded.

Your little crustacean wanted to be served peppery?
