Concussion

We went to the park at the rec center last night, to the big
wooden play scape. We took the scooter, the box
kite, remote control cars. Fun times. Royanne saw
Evan and Miss Becky. We all stopped to visit, the
time to leave put off for more play and conversation,
only to have an accident! Royanne was running, looking
into the sun and ran right into a support board, a 1 X 4.
I didn't know what had happened, due to the sun's
interference, until I saw her feet flying up in the
air, slow motion. (It was just like the time Liam pushed
her down the stairs, just to see what would happen,
he said. BOYS!)

She cried really hard and loud but was also worried about
having to go pee-pee. Once home and settled, (but not
bathed due to wanting to keep her from getting a
second wind), we cuddled and watched tv. She kept
asking why the room was jumping. A call to the nurse
told us she probably had a concussion. I checked her
pupils, everything was A-ok.

Bruce and I took turns checking on her,
unbeknownst to the other: it's a miracle she was awake at 7:30.
She probably got woken up 6-8 times!

What I Really Need

I was driving with only a pinky while I was peeling a clementine orange for Annie. She wanted it back to tear in 2 pieces. I pretended like I was crying and said "you don't need me!" She said "yes I do. I always need you. I need you to pour my milk. and get me my movie. and for quarters and to cuddle."

Allergies

Upon awakening,
"Mom, my throat is sore. I didn't even drink my chocolate milk!"
.......later on........
"I think I have neck allergies."

Homemade Beef Jerky

Royanne was at MAACO for 4 hours while I was running

errands. She "helped" Alfredo tape cars and was

eating the homemade beef jerky by cousin Stephen.
She told me it was awesome

and spicy and gave me a thumbs up!!!

I love the fact that she isn't afraid

to try new foods.

Watching Black Jack on T. V. at Aunt Kay's

Royanne told me she wanted to play cards.

So, I'm trying to remember where the matching/memory

game is and she says, "if you want another card

you tap your fingers, (and she taps the table

with four fingers) which means

'I'll take another, thank you' but if you do this,

(and she moves her extended fingers back and forth, palm

side down, right above the surface of the table)

it means 'no thanks, I don't need any more cards.' "

I'm rolling and laughing hysterically and she's

about to be really mad because she

thinks I'm laughing at her, which I am, but

not like she thinks.

So hilarious, this girl of mine!!!

UT-OH!!

"Momma, you gotta be careful when you have gas,
because it might be diarrhea!!"

What To Say?

So she comes to me and says "Can I have a drink of your tea?"

and I could smell her breath.... so I said

"What is that you're eating?

Is it chocolate? Where did you get it?

Who said you could have it?"

She just looked at me. 1 sec , 2 seconds, 3seconds,
4 seconds 5 seconds pass and she says:

"It's a long story!"
