Day 16 - 9 O'clock

9 o'clock and Dad's eye is twitching!

Sometimes it's hard to come up with stories to go with each picture. Our life is not ALWAYS crazy. ;)

I found this picture on Pinterest long before Little Bitty was born and wanted to duplicate it one day. Only our girl's feet were way too small for such things! 

Disclaimer - this is NOT my picture. Just one I want to copy.

Well, last night as she was kicking on the couch it occurred to me that the feetsies might be big enough! So I grabbed a pen, her foot and attempted to write on it. My Beloved sees me grab the pen and asks what I'm doing. When he sees me grab the baby's foot he says "don't write on our baby! What are you doing!?"

I tell him I saw this super cute picture on Pinterest (this earns an eye roll and a sigh - I'm pretty sure he wants to punch the Pinterest creators in the face). I say the pen didn't work so I'll have to try eye liner or a sharpie. He follows this up with "don't write on the baby!!" To which my response was "yeah, you're going back to work next week." Him - expletive. Me (to Alice) : "Don't use Daddy's words!" ;)

I hit my phone right after this conversation and the clock said 9:02. SCORE! Now I have a story! 

This isn't the first time he's had cause to worry about how we fill the hours while he's at work.

We had her at the doctor the other week and she was smacking on her hands. 
My Beloved: I wonder what her hands taste like.
Me: They might taste like dog.
Him utterly disturbed:  what?!
Me: Well! The dog has been known to lick her hands!
Him (to Alice): That's it. I'm quitting my job to stay home with you and your mom is going back to work! :)

I'm not sure that would be much better. I ran an errand the other day and came home to this:

Me: Daniel! Her toe is sticking out!
Him: It's perfectly normal for your toe to stick out of your socks.
Me: No, no it isn't! If your toe is sticking out of the sock - throw the sock away!
My Beloved: Oh, my bad. 

:)

Again, I'm VERY thankful there are LOTS of people praying for our girl. Lord knows her parents need it. 

Until next time....

(Editors note: Daniel says he feels misrepresented and says he meant that she could wear the outfit one last time before we threw it away. Not that is was okay to have your toe sticking out all the time. Just one last time. ;) )
