52:39 Getting a Bunny

I Want to Remember 

Getting a Bunny 

I want to remember getting a bunny. I guess Easter came early this year in our home! We went to go see the bunnies randomly at the pet store one night, and thought, well lets just get one! You love watching James jump around you and you love grabbing him - he does not love it so much! We are working on petting him, but for now, you are simply fascinated by watching him hop around. 

Bunnies are A Lot of Work

Well...we couldn't just buy a cage and call it good. Oh no...not even close. 

Nick HAD to create a cage, a play place for this bunny. We went to several furniture stores and looked on Craigslist even to find this gem below. And naturally, we found it on a day it was blizzarding and blowing. That was not fun. 

What was fun was seeing this "file cabinet" transform into a unique bunny cage for our James. He seems to really like hopping from level to level and burrowing up in his top hide-away! 

Luckily Nickolas got creative with the litter tray because let me tell you, bunnies poop. 

Bunnies poop a lot. 

I was very overwhelmed by this and actually thought we had a defective bunny he pooped so much! So luckily now, the MAJORITY of it drops into the lower level litter tray. Making easy clean up and keeping James clean for snuggles. 

52:39 Brushing Your Teeth

I Want to Remember

Brushing Your Teeth

I want to remember the first time we brushed your teeth. I remember my dentist reminding me that as soon as you got teeth, I needed to start protecting them. I pray you have your Daddy's teeth because he still has no cavities! I cannot say the same about me. Not even close actually! So I will work hard to try to protect those precious teeth of yours! 

Teeth are Scary!
So I am going to be brutally honest here. Annie was attempting to crawl on the wood floor the other day and she slipped and her face and teeth went right into the floor. I am still cringing as I write this because it sounds so awful. I was crying, she was crying and I literally felt like the worse mother in the World. Lucky for me she only cried for a few minutes until I gave her my boob and started singing Bob Marley's "Every Little Thing." And Boom, she was fine!  
But then, I did the worse thing possible that night and "googled" what happens if new teeth get hurt. I read terrible things, so don't do that - brown teeth, teeth rotting, teeth falling out, oh my! 

But now that some time passed I know that her teeth are going to be just fine. I guess I am writing this to remind myself, and all those other mommies reading this, that accidents do happen. They are still awful, scary and sucky. But they happen. And they are no one persons fault. So here is to all those mommies who comfort and the kiddos who cry. 
Don't you worry, about a thing, because every little thing, is gonna be alright.
