Hey, Mrs. Wilson!

This morning started out bloody.

Kaylie and I were getting ready to head to school and work. I was upstairs brushing my teeth when I heard an ear piercing scream come from Kaylie. This is not a normal occurrence, and having lived with her for six and a half years, I know her “owie cry”.

I came running down the stairs and was informed that she had hit her face on the stairs while bouncing with Liliana. I looked in her mouth for blood but did not see any. Thirty seconds later I looked again and blood was gushing from her tongue. She had bitten right through it.

I cuddled on the couch with her for a few minutes, checking her tongue frequently to see if the bleeding had stopped. I gave her some drugs for the pain and we were off. She was late for school for the first time all year (I think).

Around 11:00 a.m., I got a call from Noah. The school had called and said that Kaylie did not feel well (which has never happened before). I went to investigate and Kaylie said that she did not feel well but did not want to leave school. I asked her teacher if she could stay inside at lunch hour and went back to work.

When I picked her up, she informed me that she had fallen from the loft in her classroom during lunch hour and she had lost a tooth. I don’t think the two were related though.

This evening, Liliana screamed for a good hour and a half. This is also not a regular occurance. She screams a lot, but it’s most always happy screaming. This was not. Her cheeks were bright red and she was completely inconsolable. Noah and I tried to comfort her the best we could, but quiet was hard to come by. I finally drugged her and she settled down shortly after that. She also bit a hole in one of her teething rings in the inconsolable process. That stuff isn’t toxic, is it?

Both the kids are now finally sleeping. I really hope they stay that way all night long. If I don’t hear from them until 8:00 a.m. I’ll be a happy mommy.

I’m sorry I have no pictures for you today. Between all the drama there was no time for photography. Shocking, I know. I’m hoping, for my kids’ sake, that tomorrow is not a terrible horrible no good very bad day. I also hope the tooth fairy remembers to give Kaylie money tonight. She forgot last time. Bad tooth fairy.
