It's official, my sweet toddler daughter ate dirt. Having something so notably filthy in her mouth made me cringe. Here's how it happened. We were spending quality time, outside, the sun shining, birds singing. It started like an ordinary day. My daughter was helping me garden. Sorting the big rocks from the little rocks and by color. I look over, naturally, I think she is gifted, future valedictorian. Sorting and arranging ever so gingerly and with such precision. Then, from out of know where.... spit, spit, spit the way a toddler would spit... She put in her mouth a handful of dirt. Icky! I remember reading about something like this in my nursing training. Geophagy, is the scientific name. After I rinsed her mouth out. I started thinking does dirt have good nutrients? God knows she's hardly eating anything else right now. I'm sure there are yummy vitamins or at least minerals in...
