SCARED!
Tonight I got the biggest scare! Landry was in the tub and she stood up and slipped. She started crying immediately and I knew something was really wrong. That girl is tough as nails and she brushed off some of the hardest spills I have ever seen without so much as a whimper. This time not so much. When I looked down the first thing I saw was blood coming from her mouth. I thought 'O My God..she's knocked a tooth out!' It took me a little while to make sure she hadn't jarred it loose but I think she ended up biting her lip more than anything. She was calmed down with in 3 or 4 minutes. I wish it only took me that long! I was a wreck after seeing blood pour from her little mouth. She didn't even know it was there. Don't you wish we were all that resilient?! I feel for any fella that tries to mess with her. I take odds on her any day.
This morning she got up to the altar and I stood her up right in front of me. I told her it was time to pray so she would fold her hands and she immediately did. She stood there so patiently. I noticed several people in the pews admiring her big girl skills and it made me so proud of her. Yesterday we had to take her to the doctor because she was getting hoarse. I was worried about her spiking a little fever too so we took her on in. It was mainly a teething thing. She tested negative for strep to that relieved us. We went to the Farmer's Market and got some veggies for dinner and came on home. It was so beautiful outside but I opted not to take her to the pool just in case. She is quite the fish so I want to get her out there as often as possible this summer. I can tell her to swim when she is in the bath tub and she'll turn on her stomach and say 'kickin kickin kickin! all the while thrashing those legs around like a true fish. She'll turn over on her back and try to float when I ask her if she wants to float. It is so funny. She fears nothing!
This week is going to be an extraordinarily busy week for me. I am heading to Mobile for my 20th high school reunion! I cannot believe it. How did all of the time pass? It will be a lot of fun catching up with old friends and seeing their families. My sister and her husband will be flying in too so I get to visit with her for several days...can't wait!
I have a few videos of Landry that I am dying to share with. I will upload them in the next few days.
