Today's near-death experience

Oh hey, Mom.

 

It's me, Brynn.

 

Today we tried some new cereal called Crispix. It was OK. Then I look over at Dames, and he's eating it as if we were racing to the bottom of our snack bowls. I looked at him like this, "There ARE foods you DON'T eat, right??"

 

After fueling up, we headed to the library and rearranged. That's better.

 

Dames has a few toys that use those roller balls with little guys inside. But since there are three such toys and many balls, logically, we fight over one ball. This was me, staking my claim and giving Dames my YOU WANNA TRY, BIG BOY? face.

 

And so we went to another room! Here we are in what experts, I believe, call "parallel play."

 

But just look. The outcome is the same! 1-2-3, dump!

 

Oh boy. We had to hide in the basement. Almost forgot. GUYS came over. Neenee says they were the contractors she thought had blown them off, but they called last night to say they could finish the trim in their bedroom. So, they just SHOWED UP. I nearly died, so I hid to delay the inevitable.

 

Surprise! We survived AND they left. We celebrated by brushing teeth. In a toy basket.  

 

It wasn't comfortable. But we were celebrating OUR LIVES, Mom. We couldn't just brush teeth in the bathroom!

 

Oh, and I know what you're going to say: "Last night, she loved asparagus!" Well, today's a new day, Mom, and I wanted not a single thing to do with asparagus. Instead, Neenee gave us some jawberries and cucumbers, 'cause those are a safe bet. But HA! Look what I did to my last cucumber! (I ate it like it was corn on the cob, then thoughtfully discarded it on the table.) Done with that guy!
