My 5 yo dd really is quite disgusting at times. She does the 'normal' 5 yo things such as picking her nose and eating it [ewwwww] and spending endless hours in the garden making 'mud pies' and slug food (don't ask) BUT lately she has done some things that i just can't see other children doing!
She was playing next door when one of my neighbours cats brought a dead mouse in - my neighbour screamed and i went to see if all was ok. My dd was chasing the other children round the garden with the bloody dead mouse!!!
She collects bugs and gives all the slugs names. Nothing to bad about that except she keeps bringing the sodding things into the house!!!
If she drops a sweetie on the floor she has picked it up, wiped it on her coat and has eaten it before i've had chance to finish my sentence "No its dirty, don't eat the ...."
She has also been known to lick the soles of her shoes [vomit], stick pens up her nose then bring them down and lick them [puke] and pick up a piece of fluff and chew it to see what it tastes like
There are a million and one others things that she does that really make me want to throw up but no amount of telling her that it will make her poorly will make her stop!!
She actually was violently sick after the sole-licking incident
So please tell me - is this normal???
And more importantly - how do i make her stop!
