Hairballs

We thought it was funny the other day when William had a shirt on that said "ALL AMERICAN BOY" and he wouldn't let go of Dora the Explorer!
So I look down at Teresa and she has something in her mouth. Now most of you know that I shed hair like a dog and my children are covered in my hair. I can't help it.
Anyway, I stick my finger in the little Piranha's mout and fish out what appears to be a big clump of hair. Either that or pieces of my leopard blanket that she keeps chowing down on. Whatever it is, it is gross.
I start looking around for what she could have gotten into, but I see nothing. I go back to the office to work on the computer.
A few minutes later, Rebecca, my helper, says "Oh No, Buddy!" and I come out to see what is wrong. She says that Travis threw up some so she is going to clean him up. I pick up the quilt where he vomited and get it ready to go in the wash. Becca brings him back and takes the quilt and other laundry out to get started. While she is out there, he looks at me and vomits AGAIN, and this time on the carpet. I call for Becca to get the other two while I clean Travis up. She puts Tr and W in the nursery and goes out to clean up the puke (she is a good helper!). A second later, Becca yells "Oh my Gosh" and askes where the clump of stuff I pulled out of Teresa's mouth is. I tell her that it is on the table. She said "Well, there is a GIANT clump of that stuff in Travis's puke!"
Now the search is on. What did they get into to be hacking up hairballs? It is not Mommy's hair and it is not part of the blanket, so what is it? I tell Becca to start looking at the toys, especially ones with fur and a minute later she comes in with a doll that Teresa's godmother sent all of them when they were born.
Shel got these adorable cloth dolls that they love. She got 2 with brown hair and one with blond.
Becca hands me the doll and I look at where it once had brown yarn hair-a small tuft right on top. Now it has 2 straglely strands of yarn for hair-the rest of its hair having been eaten by the T's. I find the other 2 dolls and compare the hair and Becca and I crack up. The mystery is solved and all 3 dolls go on the shelf with their board books-which they have eaten most of them as well.
I know that babies put things in their mouths, but I was not prepared for this.
