gum chewin'

Woohoo! Aubie chewed her first piece of gum today without swallowing! I am so excited. I kept giving in to her begging for a piece of gum and I'd give her a little piece and of course she'd swallow it. But today, I was like, ok. Last time. And she is still chewing it! This puts her into big girl status, I think. Only big girls can chew gum (or so I kept telling her). I just don't want her to chew it too much though. I can't be havin' a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory child.
