band-aids

Ryleigh you got your first band-aid today…  (aside from those that the mean doctor gives you from those nasty shots.) we had just gotten home from the cabin (getting our Christmas tree for your first Christmas) and we had 30 min to get ready before church.  I hopped in the shower and you got to go and make lunch with dad. Dad was making burritos.  He opened a can of beans and left you and the can alone on the counter. You grabbed it. You started screaming. I came running in and dad just said you were hungry or something. I picked you up to go and get you dressed and saw blood all over my hand. Your poor little hand. We know better than to leave you and dad alone to cook lunch now, he took good care of you though and got you all bandaged up.  You didn’t like the band-aid though and it didn’t seem to stay on very long.

On our way home from church you fell asleep.  So dad and I snuck into our bed and took a quick lil’ snooze before we went over to grandma and grandpa mitchell’s house for dinner.  You didn’t sleep very long before you woke us up.  You and me were sick today.  We sniffled together all day and practically used a whole box of Kleenexes…boy are we a sight to see or what?!  Somehow we still made it to family dinner though.  It was super yummy, leftover thanksgiving dinner.  You ate potatoes and green beans (you love those things you know). After dinner, dad went home teaching and you and I snuck off to the back bedroom to get a little shut eye and rest up.  After our nap, we came home, gave you some medicine and then you and daddy womped on the piano for 27 minutes together.  You just can’t get enough of that thing.  One day you are going to be a master at that.  Dad is working on learning how to play deck the halls. He plays the top hand, and you attempt the bottom hand, and together you sound just lovely.

I can hear you and dad in our bedroom right now, reading books, and you are babbling away.  I’m coming to visit.

I love you.
