How is My House Still Standing?

Someone out there must be watching out for us because there is absolutely no logical reason as to why my house is still standing.

Get this...I started making Bailee a couple of bags to put her smaller toys in to get them off of the floor. This was about a week ago. I just went upstairs to iron one of her dresses and not only was the iron on, but it was face down on the carpet. Ruger had knocked over my ironing board who knows how long ago and the iron was just burning the carpet away.

Yeah. I was sick to my stomach. And still am.

In the Kitchen Corner

As I was sitting here in the kitchen I thought of a couple of other things that make me laugh.

Our house alarm has been sounding pretty sick lately. It sounds like a blown speaker or something. It makes a really bad sound when you set it or turn it off, but it also makes a staticky sound randomly throughout the day. Every time Bailee hears it she looks up at it and says "Statilly?" Which I have to tell her "Yes. It is staticky." It makes the sound about once every 5 minutes. So we just try to stay out of the kitchen.


The other thing she does is tells Ruger "Get away from my plant, Ruger!" I have to tell him all the time to get away from my plant because he either eats the leaves or breaks them. He's always playing in the dirt, too. It drives me crazy so every time he goes back to that corner of the kitchen, both of us tell him to get away from my plant.

Waking Up

I had put Bailee to bed a little bit later than usual so I was expecting her to take a longer nap, but I was surprised that she was still sleeping. I decided to go in to check on her to make sure she was okay.

When I went into her room one of her blankets was covering her face so I slowly moved it away. She started to stretch a little bit and rolled over. I just watched and waited. She started to flutter her little brown eyes open and looked around the room. As she took in her surroundings she focused slowly on her sunlit window and seemed to be at complete peace. As she stretched once more she opened her mouth and said "Cock-a-doodle-doo." You have to realize that she never knew I was there until I burst out laughing. She immediately looked up at me and smiled as if she knew the joke.

I have to wonder what she says when she wakes up while I am not in the room.
