Last night, Zoe fell asleep in her highchair while eating a lovely supper of fried chicken, big boy peas, hashbrowns and cornbread. (Thanks, Mom!) Sam fell asleep soon after. And since we were free so early in the evening, Joe agreed to watch The Darjeeling Limited with me. We've had it from Netflix for at least 3 months and it just became ridiculous not to watch it after holding onto it for 3 whole months!
So we did and we both enjoyed it very much. (Thanks to whoever recommended it to me!) And then we went quietly to bed. Joe fell asleep but I was wired. So, I got up and surfed the internet while having a drink. I had another drink after that. And another....until I found myself eating poptarts and writing poetry with a crayon at 2 am. This morning, I felt as though a truck had spun it's wheels on my face all night. My reflux was at full tilt and all of my drunken poetry turned out to be illegible in the early morning-after light.
Zoe, on the other hand, awoke bright-eyed and bushy tailed. She enjoyed a lovely breakfast of toast and fruit and then went into the bathroom and stuck her head through the brand new potty seat. I bought it to help them both feel more secure up there and decrease the risk of injury. And she stuck her head through it. All the way through. As in, a potty necklace. She was screaming and I was panicking so I am unable to offer photographic evidence.
It doesn't matter. Photograph or no, the trauma of my late night and her early morning still lingers...
I'll leave you with this: Ears. Why must they stick out so?

Oh my. Well, these things do happen. I am glad everyone survived.
Is the potty seat really that small? It doesn't look it...but I will take your word for it.
And I believe it was I who recommended The Darjeeling Limited. If it wasn't, it should've been. I own that movie and could have lent it to you to free up valuable Netflix slottage.
Damn those ears for interfering with our fun.
Love,
SB
I would have paid money to see a video of that. THAT? Is why people have kids.
Isn't it?
That girl! With the lamp that time and now the potty necklace. She is a feisty spirit.
Ms. Moon - I'm glad, too. Funny how I've traded living for the next thrill for parenting thrilling children.
Mel - I did not have to call the fire dept. Thankfully, it's padded and with Sam holding her ears down and me crushing the padding, it was removed with only a little scratch to her left ear. And I think she got that when she plowed her head through it. I think you're the one who told me to see the movie. Thanks! We loved it.
SB- Sometime I wonder if ears are more trouble than they're worth...
Cat- Yes, children are somewhat of a selfish endeavor. Who doesn't want to be entertained by little people every single day?
Nana's Lady - Girls are much different than boys. She is our wild one. No doubt about it.
