Addi's battered face


Oh, what a week, for poor little Addi that is. Not that Lili's week has been so hot. I do recall getting a phone call from one of the triage nurses saying my hubby was on the tele and that Miss Lili was bleeding from the mouth and had a loose tooth. Fear not, folks, this quickly turned to "I think it's just crooked" then to "I don't think it's crooked, I think it's just how I was looking at it". These things don't happen when Mama's home, I said. No, they sure don't and Lili is just fine, thank you for asking. Addi, well, she fell and bumped her face on the corner of our PADDED coffee table and promptly grew a slight black eye and a cut with a little bit of blood. But why stop there. Why not turn your back, Mama, for just 4 seconds while in the kitchen? Imagine what my face might have looked like when I turned to find her standing on the second step up the stairs and then as I started to CALMLY walk toward her then watch her fall like a rag doll down those steps and hit her head. Oh, the images that passed in those first fractions of the second it took for her to pick up her head and scream at me. A small red bump is all to show. Talk about feeling like a bad, bad mama. And if I couldn't have felt worse I decided to try to smush her fingers in the kitchen cabinet while making waffles this morning. I mean, I remember thinking "Jeez, why won't this damn thing SHUT already?!" as I really squished them in there. Oh how she wailed! In my defense she was on the other side of the safety gate (did I mention the new rule of no more babies in the kitchen?) sneaking her little hand through to the cupboard. I didn't even notice until the tears. Uggh... Bad, bad, bad mama. But they still love me. That's a relief. I don't even get so mad when they bite now. I mean, I kinda have it coming. Maybe they've just known that all along.

P.S.) Tom & Anita- Thanks tons! I thought I had a cute picture of the ladies in their new hats, but alas, I can't seem to find it! I will post it as soon as I come across it. Muchos gracias!

P.P.S.) Sorry about the delay between posts. I hope to improve upon this.
