Bad Breath and Breakfast!

So it was a usual morning for us. I was getting ready to leave for work, Alyse was just getting up, and Russ was fixing her breakfast while I changed her diaper. I gave Aly kisses and set her in Russ' lap for her morning oatmeal (she likes to eat breakfast snuggling on daddy's lap-not in her highchair, we save that for lunch and dinner). I gave them both kisses and headed off. I was at work maybe 15-20 minutes when my cell phone rings. This is unusual, I rarely get calls when I am at school. I grab it out of my purse and see that it is Russ. He is laughing as I answer so I am relieved nothing is wrong and he proceeds to tell me about our hilarious child. Apparently as Russ is feeding her breakfast she won't look at him. He keeps telling her to look at him so he can feed her (no one wants oatmeal all over the place) but as he turns her head towards him she just puts her hand up to his mouth and turns her head away (not pushing him away mind you just covering his mouth). This continues until Russ finally realizes that she didn't like his breath. He is laughing so hard at this realization that he just has to call me! I ask him if he went and brushed his teeth, to which he replies, "Not yet but I am on my way". So apparently Alyse stands right beside him the entire time he is brushing his teeth. As soon as he is finished she puts her arms up in the air and asks to be picked up. Russ picks her up and she leans her head in close (like she is going to do a "noggin") stops a few inches from his face, breaths in, smiles, and makes a kissy face at him "mwah!". Now she can finish her breakfast. Nothing kills an appetite like having to breath your daddy's bad breath!
