I went to my second "Play Date" ever today. First, Ruby fell down the stairs at the house. Next, Ruby thought it would be fun to sling her roman noodles on the floor. Third, Ruby grabs a dishwasher soap tablet and eats the soap. Forth, she cries and throws up. Fifth, she spills chocolate milk shake all over my friends clean cream colored carpet.
I am a bad mom. Just when I thought I could keep up with Ruby and her tricks, she develops new ones. I'm falling behind.
Luckily Ruby is fine. My nerves are shot. Good thing my friend who hosted the play date has 6 kids, and has "see everything that kids do." She even told me of a time she found her oldest hard asleep in her bedroom, naked, after she managed to play with her poop like play dough and get it EVERYWHERE!
At least Ruby would rather eat soap then play with her poop. (hehe)
On some happier notes, her are some cool things about Ruby:
-She loves play places at fast food restaurants. She won't eat while she's there because she is so excited to play, so I don't even have to pay for crappy food. She's a cheap date!
- She figured out how to go down the stairs all by herself. I didn't even teacher her. She likes the scoot down on the butt method.
- When she hears Brad on the phone she says "Hi Dada!!!" in the cutest, most excited voice ever!!!
- She is starting to wear 24 month and 2T clothes! ...too big, to fast. What happened to my baby?
- She loves helping me out! Ruby will obey commands like, "Go throw this away please." "Hand me this please." She assists with dusting, folding the laundry, and even helps me unload the dishwasher!!! I seriously could ask for a better helper. And she's only 14 months old! I guess that means she is going to be an excellent big sister.
Well, maybe Ruby and God will forgive me for not doing my best for looking after my sweet girl. I love her so much, and hope to be a better mom, because she deserves it!
