Trying to dig a sliver of glass out of your big toe while a solicitous toddler looks on:
“You need some medcinine, Mama? You need some medcinine? You need some medcinine? Mama’s washing her foot. Mama’s washing her foot.”
“Please, Bella go eat your broccoli in the kitchen,” I grit. Finally, I get a purchase with the tweezers and yank. Amazing how something so small can cause so much pain.
“Mama has a splinter in her foot. Mama has a splinter in her foot. Mama has a splinter in her foot. Mama has a splinter in her foot. Mama has a splinter in her foot. Mama has a splinter in her foot, ” Bella sings.
“Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe. Mama has a splinter in her toe.”
Yeah. I love her. I do. But today is evidently Sing Everything Ten Times Day.
Is it nap time yet?
She is gorgeous, Melanie! Just beautiful!
Babies just steal your heart, as they say in Italy… She’ sooo cute! Am I wrong or your two girls look a lot alike?
Yes, everyone says they look very much alike. Sometimes glancing at baby pics on the computer, I’m not sure for a moment if it is Isabella or Sophia.
You’re right. She does favor her godmother in that second one.
this one has a little of Auntie Tree’s wistful look……
