Happy Mother's Day! If only we would see 70 degrees. This spring is definitely one of the worst of recent memory. It has been cold, snowy and rainy so far. So, what's with the title of this post?
Well for starters, afer complaining wildly about having to work in the church daycare today, Mother's Day (we volunteer the 2nd Sunday of every month). I was really hoping to do something else than watch other people's children. Well, I got my wish.
We went to church and abrubtly left when Anya decided to run in her new sandals--which were purchased slightly too big in case of "growing feet" this summer. That running led to tripping, which led to Anya flying through the air and landing face first into the edge of a table. Blood, blood, blood and screaming. Off to the ER.
She was 10+ on the upset scale for at least an hour. Good news, no stitches. We were left with instructions to "watch" her and the fairly minor lacerations for the next few days. Whewwwww. Considering we were just in Children's one month ago for chin stitches with Anya, I was waiting for the social worker to arrive to interview us about our parenting skills.
To switch to Sasha for a moment...there isn't really much to report. Other than she has officially entered the "terrible twos". She is opinionated to the max--not talking much--prefers hitting, screaming and grunting to get her way. And is 100% addicted to getting her "Nuk" fix when needed. Let's hope for some more words coming soon...her vocabulary includes the following favorites: Anya, Mommee, Dadeeee, Ju (juice), Eeee (eat), and "Doah Boo" (Dora & Boots).
Anya delighted us this week, coming down one morning wearing her new swim goggles, her PJs, her new hot pink sparkly flip flops ("her airplane shoes"), her lovey, and Little Mermaid. Oh the joys of being almost four. "Fancy" is how she described herself. Thanks to a little inspiration help from a favorite book character, "Fancy Nancy".
On to the rest of the day....

Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad that the ER trip ended happily; I'd say you've had your quota for the year. (Our most recent ER visits took place on Thanksgiving and John's birthday, if I'm not mistaken - what is it about holidays???) Here's to a peaceful rest of your Mother's Day, and I can't wait for your future posts!
