Last night was an adventure in mommy land......Let's get some back ground covered. My husband and I are parents to three wonderful children. All of whom are under age 5. There is never a dull moment at our house. Which at times can be everything from wonderful to crazy!! well last night was a CRAZY!! My oldest child decided it was her mission to be on dog patrol. We have a 4 month old yellow lab. His name is Duke....yes we named him for the hot Army guy on GI Joe!! LOL Anyway she is on her dog patrol mission when she realizes that he has wandered upstairs to the FORBIDDEN zone. The master bedroom. It is off limits 1) it is upstairs, 2) that is OUR space. No toys, no kids. They rule the rest of the house. I didn't see her go upstairs....but oh boy I sure saw her come down. I hear a blood curdling scream and here she comes DOWN the stairs head first. Well as you can imagine I FREAK out! She lands on her head with a thud and her body flies over her! I rush to her...all three steps it took to get to her. (the longest walk of my life!) I get to her she is conscious and aware and as white as a sheet of paper. I call the ER and they say "call an ambulance." I did not call the ambulance but I did take her in. She was in a great deal of pain and pretty frazzled. They rushed her in put her little neck in a collar and evaluated her. Because she was in pain they did a CT scan of her head and neck. She is FINE, thankfully. She gave me a good scare and I think she scared herself pretty badly as well. I was calm, cool and collected the whole time. Until I got home and then I realized that she could have been really hurt and as a mother, that really frightened me. We are all better now...once again calm, cool and collected.
And now onto little man....this child is a light at the end of the tunnel. He is happy and funny and lovable. He is like a small bear. Rough and rugged. Always trying to ride the dog like a horse. Soft and cuddly always ready to climb in a lap for a hug or a kiss or to get you to wrestle with him. Well he has taken a shine to my dress shoes. (the poor boy is surrounded by girls) He calls them "glass slippers" as do his sisters. This morning as I was dressing he walks out of my closet wearing my silver heels. Just looking as at home in them as he does in his little John Deere boots. I couldn't help it, I had to laugh. Now his Daddy would not be happy that he can actually walk in those shoes! and his feet looked kind of cute!! hahahahaha.....I traded the glass slippers for some goofy slippers and my husband's manhood can stay in tact. When lil man got to the bottom of the stairs (with my help of course!) he removes his slippers and throws them at his sisters to initiate the sibling war that is a constant on my living room floor.
Now add this to yesterday.....When he bit his older sister because she had "his" purse!! ROFL He was mad his purse had all of his important things, his cars and his blocks.....we have to protect the things that we enjoy having around.
My moon and my stars....the three things that light my life when the world is a little bit dark. They are my reason for putting a smile on my face. They are the reason I can laugh everyday.
My little heroes......the ones that always know when momma needs a hug, even if she doesn't think she does.
