A moms life!

Life with little ones is never boring. I recently got this e-mail from my daughter Laura telling me how her morning was going. I thought it was pretty funny and thought you would enjoy it too. She titled the e-mail - My Crazy Kid

I thought you might get a laugh out of the morning I'm having.  I think Alaina is trying to kill me today, I've had at least three heart attacks.

#1 - I was working downstairs while Ruby was sleeping upstairs.  Alaina was in the office with me playing.  She always likes to swing around on the treadmill.  Suddenly I heard a "thwack" and she started screaming.  I whipped around in my chair and she was holding her face with blood pouring from between her fingers.  So naturally I assumed she had knocked all her teeth out.  Once I got her calmed down and could check things out better, she had just cut her lip and face a little so I think she'll survive.

#2 - She decided the office was too dangerous to play in, so she moved to the laundry/storage room.  A little later Ruby was starting to wake up, so I came out to go upstairs, and discovered she'd been emptying the cupboards and shelves and had canned foods and potatoes up the stairs and all over.  I told her to start putting them back while I gathered some from the stairs.  Suddenly she's screaming about her foot and I look over and she's laying on the floor clutching her foot with a can next to her.  So I assumed she either had a broken or severed toe from a can falling on it.  Turns out that's ok too, thank goodness.

 #3 - I finally make it upstairs and start some milk warming for Ruby.  Lain went past and I figured she went in her room.  I leave the kitchen to get Ruby and here comes Alaina from the hall - carrying Ruby!!!! 

"AUUGGHHH"  I scream.  "I got Ruby for you Mumma."  she calmly says.  I think I was in shock because I was actually trying not to laugh while telling her she may never, ever carry Ruby again.

To top things off, as I was feeding Ruby she was doing her trademark tooting, and suddenly I felt quite warm and wet.  I held her up to see her jammies turning orange with poo leaking everywhere, including me.

Hope that all gives you a laugh today - and hoping for an uneventful afternoon!!
Love ya,
Laura

To balance out that craziness, here's a little video of the two of them. They love each other, and we love them both!
