This afternoon, I laid Abby down for her nap, did a couple of small chores, and got out my fabric cutting board and went to work. Abby enjoys waking up at the smallest noises, be it the flutter of butterfly wings or the snip of scissors. Maybe a dog barked thirty miles down the road in Yadkin County or a car door closed in Boone. Whatever the reason, Abby woke up earlier than I had planned on her waking up. I was just about finished cutting fabric though, so I sat her down near me and went back to work.
Abby is mobile enough, though not crawling yet, that she can get herself almost anywhere. Like literally on top of the fabric that I was attempting to cut. Add on to this the fact that me sitting on the floor anywhere is an invitation for Milo to come over and my goal of simply cutting fabric was becoming increasingly difficult.
And now, I present to you this story through photographs.
Abby: Tape.
Abby: MILO. TAPE.
Abby: Milo, get over here! Tape AND a water bottle! Mom's not done with it yet, but she doesn't mind if we both lick it.
Milo: Oh wow Abby. Thanks for the heads up. Isn't Mom great?
Abby: That's right, dog. This bottle ain't big enough for the both of us.
Milo: Oh hi Mom, were you sitting here? I almost weigh as much as you do but you don't mind if I perch my large behind on your kneecap.
Abby: Lay down, Milo, as I taunt you with this delectable water bottle.
Milo: Pet me, Mommy
Milo: She's going to put that on my head, isn't she?
Abby: Milo, this would look fantastic on your head.
Abby: Fine. If you're not going to wear it, I'm just going to go back over here.
Milo: I love you.
Abby: Wanna lick this, buddy?
Milo: I love you.
Abby: Can I lick it now?
Me: No.
I am clearly a mean mom for drawing the line at chewing on things after Milo has been chewing on them, so this is where the fun ended. A minor meltdown ensued and my crafting came to a temporary halt. All was well within a few minutes and we moved the fun upstairs to the sewing machine, which is another party just waiting to happen.
These two may make everyday life a little more difficult at times, but they are so entertaining that it really doesn't bother me. I love my little Dream Team!
