Okay, so a couple of funny things happened to me this week that I feel officially promote me to full "mommy" status.
First of all, we went to Gene's office at the church yesterday to have lunch with him. I was rushing around that morning trying to get some laundry done, feed Eden breakfast, and get both her and I looking somewhat presentable so I wouldn't embarrass Gene at work. I looked in the mirror before I left and thought, "Hey, I look pretty good. My hair is down AND I'm wearing makeup." Well, I should have looked more closely because when I got to the church one of my friends there came up to me and whispered in my ear that my shirt was on inside out. So I ran into one of the empty offices and turned it right-side out. That was the first clue that I am definitely losing it.
Then, Eden and I were riding down the road and she was talking to me from the backseat like she ALWAYS does. She is either wanting me to hand her something, wanting to point at something, or wanting to hand me something. This is not so safe while driving a minivan. Well, she was trying to hand me something this time so I just stuck my hand back there while still watching the road. She put what I thought to be a crumb in my hand and when I pulled it back and looked at it...it was a buggar. Oh yes, you read right, a buggar from my sweet, precious child's nose. So I did what any good mother does and said, "Thank you sweetie for not eating it." I am indeed officially a mommy, aren't I?
Eden decided she wanted to brush her teeth for the first time this morning with actual toddler's toothpaste so I put a few photos up for you to see. She LOVES her stool that Mrs. Sandra gave her. The funny thing she is doing this week is that she asks for a bow to be put in her hair every time she is near a mirror. Then, she stands up, looks at herself, grins from ear to ear in admiration, and then kisses the mirror. If only we could hold on to that contentment with how God made us! She is so proud of how pretty she looks with a bow in her hair.
What a sweet angel.
