That stinker........we were reading a story before bed, and Kenna started to cough. It was a strange cough, and I immediately stood up and went to her, "Are you okay, Kenna?" She said, "Mom, I swallowed a penny!"
She was a little distraught, but was talking and breathing fine. I immediately remembered seeing a dime on the floor five minutes earlier. Asked her if it was silver, confirming it was a dime, indeed. Called the pediatrician, and he said to watch her closely for any issues and strain her poop for the next few days to make sure it passes~fun times.
Now, each time she goes potty, she says things like~
Mom, if you hear a "plop" then it came out.
Mom! It didn't come out!
Mom, maybe when its winter and I go outside, and its really, really cold, and I feed the reindeer, it will melt (the dime).
Hopefully, this confusion & obsession with the dime will ensure no future episodes of putting money in her mouth. All we can do is hope.
