Ellie was crying in the car on the way home from the grocery store (past feeding time) and Preston starts singing to her to make her happy: "You are so cute, and adorable. You are adorable Ellie. You are so cute. And you eat flowers. But people don't eat flowers. Animals eat flowers. Don't eat flowers. You are so cute Ellie. You are adorable..." I thought it was rather catchy!
Just to journal this incident, so I don't forget it. Mothers lose it sometimes and sometimes it is okay. Eva had been having a very whiny day. I think she might be like this sometimes just because her eyesight is bad right now because of being cross-eyed. But, I had been dealing with whining non-stop since she woke up. She whined for a drink of water. I started to get her one, but "No! Bottle! I BABY!" I was putting her water in a cup, excuse me. So, I got the bottle (she drinks out of the bottle like a cup because I tell her we can't find the lid). As I was filling it up with water she runs up to me and smacks me. I just turned and poured the water from the bottle right on top of her head! Oooh, she made me so mad. And then, of course, she starts screaming like she was just dropped into an ice cold lake. I told her I spilled it on accident and apologized. Who knows if she believed me? I hope she doesn't hold it against me for life, but it sure did make me feel a little better that time. I know I am usually a better mother than this. Hopefully I will continue to be.
