Baby down

So it finally happened. It was inevitable, but the Gremlin finally fell down the stairs. Fell is an overstatement. She summersaulted down the stairs. We were walking to the car and she was looking at something on the step below her and before I could tell her to step down rather than reach down, she went ass over tea kettle and rolled down the rest of the stairs.

I screamed, of course, and when she landed on the landing on her butt she started to cry. But the first thing she said was..."babbbbbbbbby!" She was carrying her baby and obviously dropped her. She was very concerned that her baby was hurt.

Sweetie, I know the feeling.

Everyone was fine. But now every time we walk down the stairs and get to the landing she has to point and say "Baby down, baby down." She is very much into tell you about past events...over and over and over again.

She is very into mothering right now and always wants to do something for her baby. The other day she put her baby into the Bjorn and carried her around the house saying, "Baby bag, baby bag." Monkey see, monkey do.

Speaking of babies, 2.0 has two tiny teeth now. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. We had to buy him a crib last weekend because he had outgrown the cradle, quit literally. And he isn't even 4 months old yet!

    Wow! 2 teeth already. That's crazy. Nolan looks just like Maddy in that first pic.

      Tristan, that was all Maddy. She put Nolan's "gachke" on him and then asked me to put hers on her. And sat and posed for the photo. She even ran to find Mark so he could see them with their "gachke"s

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!" And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!! And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long. As for me, I ...

Wouldn't Trade It for the World

I wish I had a way of recording life as it was happening. I wanted to preserve the memory of what happened that badly, so I am writing it here to remember forever... I'll give you a little back story first. The Gremlin woke up around 5:15 or so and cried out for a few minutes. It was an odd cry. It was not her "I'm hungry" cry or a simple "I woke up and didn't want to" cry. This was more of a "I am scared, help me" sound. But she fell back asleep, so I figured it was just a bad dream and now it was done. 2.0 woke up at 6:15, so I went in to feed him. And when I got to his door, the Gremlin started crying out again. And didn't stop. My husband has to leave for work at 6:45, so there was no way he was going to be able to help out. I was on my own. So after I finished feeding 2.0, I went into the Gremlin's room. This is when I wanted the filming to start. I walked in and saw something that just broke my heart. The Gremlin was sittin...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...
