Caution! Accident Zone!
I think our house is cursed! We seem to have a string of accidents where people get pretty seriously injured here. My bunko friend Brenda runs into our glass front door and breaks her nose, Brandon falls and bashes his head into the counter ending up with a bunch of staples in his head. Just last weekend Sicily tripped on our sidewalk and bashed her knee up pretty well, has to get an MRI to see if she has a torn meniscus or ACL. Then today the girls were playing in their toy room, I was in the garage trying to fix the flat tires on Jasmine’s bike so we could go for a walk. Nyah opens the door screaming and crying I ask her whats wrong and look up to see blood all over her face, hands and shirt. I carry her into the kitchen trying to get her to calm down and tell me what happened so I can figure out where the blood is coming from. Finally amid a lot of crying I get that she fell on her face. I look at her lip which looks like she bit it but not a lot of blood is coming from there. So I get her mouth open and lift her upper lip to see a gash in her upper gums that is about 1/2 inch long. I call Sicily who calls her mom (an RN) who says she doesn’t think from the desrciption that she’d need stitches, whew! Finally after a dose of motrin and tylenol, and a gogurt Nyah calms down and I get her cleaned up. Then of course we had to go get slurpees to help with the swelling . . . and to make a very sad little girl happy. After all this I finally get the full story. They were playing in the toy room Nyah had her backpack leash on and Jasmine was holding on to it and let go so Nyah flew forward and slammed her face into the base of the little entertainment center cutting her gums and biting her lip pretty hard too. Poor girl! Sicily has very kindly offered to get some caution tape for our house but I think I’m going to start requiring everyone to wear full football gear, pads helmets and all while you’re at our house.

Sweetest little girl
This morning we were cuddling as usual and out of the blue she says, “When I grow up and am an adult I’ll come visit you lots mommy.” At first I was thinking she said this because she went and saw her Grandma Lee recently which doesn’t happen very often. But I asked her why she said that and she said “Because you like to have lots of time to talk with adults” Lightbulb goes on! Whenever her and Jasmine ask why they have to go with their dads one of the reasons I give is because I need time to be able to go spend with adults. I’m guessing this is also why she often tells me she wants to be an adult, although sometimes when I ask her why she wants to grow up she says because she wants to be able to drive.
Another very sweet thing Nyah said a few weeks back, we were driving in the car. Nothing special happening. Nothing big going to happen. Out of no where Nyah says “You’re the best mom EVER!” I almost started crying!
On Christmas day we were driving up to Brandon’s parents house and Nyah says (out of no where again) “Daddy I wish you never had to go back to LA” She said things like this several times while Brandon was home for the Xmas break, which just about broke my heart.
While Brandon is down there, most nights we try to either call or text him goodnight. Nyah’s favorite thing to say currently is “I love you with all my hearts” When asked how many hearts she has the number usually varies but is regularly around 20.
