This Kid Loves to Scare Me

The other day, Nate and I were out on a little walk, and stopped to talk to our neighbors at the swing set, and then came back to the porch so I could water some flowers. Now, we have some big arborvitae trees next to our porch, and whenever Nate is close to it, he grabs some leaves, or needley thingies off the one he can reach. So, I always park him a few feet away from the tree so he can't so this. Well, we went inside, and he was playing in our borrowed excersaucer (Thanks, Adrienne!) and he started to cough. His face went red, which is nothing new, since he chokes on his own saliva a lot of times. As I was looking at him and asking what was wrong, he let out two little projectile pukes! In one of the little puddles, I saw a little piece of arborvitae! What the?! I have no idea how he could have gotten it! It was about an inch long, and they're pretty narrow. But, I couldn't believe he got that one past me! I have been watching this kid like a hawk, but it doesn't seem to be enough! Jeez!
