Ruby’s teething, which means a rash. I took her diaper off, left her bare bottomed for a bit before her bath, and she climbed onto Eden’s bed to pee. Really now. I figured I’d be cleaning up a puddle off the kitchen floor – but not washing sheets, blankets, quilts, the whole bit. Seriously now.
All that to say that Eden slept with me last night. She had her birthday party, we were gone all day, and her sheets are still working their way through my overflowing laundry room. Tonight’s looking about the same – less the birthday party excuse. But when I told her she could sleep with me so long as I could use the lamp and read without disturbing her, she told me, “I don’t care Mom, as long as you aren’t too loud reading.” Um, honey, Mama doesn’t make too much noise reading. Reading silently, after all, is a learned skill – one she hasn’t learned yet.
I woke up yesterday with a raging headache – day 3 of such. I don’t know. But when Eden found out, she told me we could skip her birthday party with friends. Sweet girl. She didn’t, however, balk when I told her we would do no such thing.
Kissing Sterling before bed tonight, I got one very wet kiss. He’s started rolling his bottom lip when he kisses, but I asked anyway. “Why was that such a wet kiss?” His reply had me laughing. “It’s my boogies, Momma!”
