Not a Good Way to Wake Up

No parent should ever have to walk into their child's room to this. My girls slept later than usual and I had to wake them which is very uncommon. Adeline was asleep on her belly next to a large bloodstain. When I frantically rolled her over, I found her face covered and shirt saturated in blood. I don't know which was more scary, the look of her or the look on my face. Luckily, I didn't scream as my heart dropped to my toes so my sweet little Adeline just sat up and greeted me with her usual morning smile. I guess she suffered a pretty bad bloody nose last night.


As I sit here writing this, Savannah has come in asked me what a sticker says. I read it to her, "All PLAY and no work." She pauses for a long moment and then says, "Well mommy, I am going to put it in your scrapbook (something she has been crafting for me over the past two months) but I want you to know that I am still going to work. . .even though I don't like to. I won't just play."

Sweet sweet girl!
