I think all kids that young try it at least once.
Everyone knows what it taste like. I got mine washed out a few times and I did notice if I like the smell of the soap I did not mind the taste as bad. Zest Yuck.

michelle and leslie, I thought I was the only kid that loved to eat soap. Michelle, how much soap did your daughter eat? did she blow bubbles out of her mouth or does that only happen on TV? green apple bar soap eh? sounds good enough for me to try and chew and swallow the whole bar. Personally, I prefer Camay Clssic. I have chewed and swallowed several of these bars with no adverse reactions such as throwing up or explosive diarhea, I also like chuging down a whole mouth full of Dawn dishsoap every once in a while. It has a sweet taste to it.

Dude ! I loved the big bar of Ivory Soap when my parents bathed me too. It was so big because my hands were so small but I remember whenever I got a hold of it, I liked to spin it around and around in my fist. I guess it got easier to do this as it melted.

Shelley and FD: Yes the poem is great and the book idea an excellent companion. Could be like the Cherrios play book, if you happen to have that one. I suggest making it widely marketable so that sand should not only be organic but kosher, vegetarian and recycled.

I love the poem! Just think of the marketing possibilities for a children’s book. You could enclose liitle miniature bags of dust and dirt (100% organic of course).

FrumDad, I truly enjoyed your poem, your almost as good as Suess! Ben, I don’t know which I like best, your info on Trixie or your readers comments. Both are informative and funny. GREAT job your doing!!! As an old Gramma, I’m reliving the good old days. Jo

My mother swept the kitchen floor
And someone knocked at our front door.
A pile of dust for me to attack!
I grabbed it when she turned her back.

And as I brought it to my maw…
She saw!
She turned around and saw!

And then she said:
“Don’t put that there!
Don’t put that there!
That the dust and dirt from everywhere!”

I did not listen
No I did not
I ate it up right on the spot!

And it was good!
So very good!
Chunks of paper, Hunks of wood!
So much better than baby food!

And ceterah…

FD: Fabulous idea! We will be slowly re-writing the Seuss classic “I do not like them Graham-I-am. I do not like Green Eggs and Sand!”

We’ve gotta get the 529 in place before a therapy fund is an option so I think subbing in sand for salt is an innovative, simple, and cost-effective approach to the eggs. I’ll keep you posted.

Put some sand in the eggs. Or just throw them in the sandbox.

Alternately, you might just leave the food on the floor and when Graham goes to eat it, say, “No, that’s not for your mouth.” This last — at least with Rachel — will guarantee that as soon as you turn your back it’ll go right into the baby, do not pass Go, do not bother to chew.

But, if you go that last route, you might want to start putting money away for the therapist.

Graham also snacks on soap at bathtime but has yet to react negatively to the taste. Similarly, if left to his own devices in a sandbox, he starts shoveling handfuls of sand in his mouth (again no adverse reaction). This from a kid who took one bite of perfectly cooked scrambled eggs at lunch today before promptly making a face and spitting it out.
