And I’m just getting started. We have been in the apt we live in now for almost two years. I’ve had enough of it.

A friend watched people across the street from her move. So we decided to call and looked at the apartment today.

We have to put our deposit down but…..

we’re moving to Slater! HA! Back to Small Town Iowa!

There is one part of being a Mom I HATE. When little ones get hurt.

Aubrey has learned to pull herself to standing and then “cruise” around holding onto things. Well today, she was doing her typical pull up on the coffee table and stand there. BAM! My poor baby last her footing or something and she went mouth first into the side of the coffee table.

After much much comforting and “shhh baby I know sweetie”, we were able to get her to hold onto a cold washcloth.From what I could see at that time (she was not opening her mouth!) it looked like the inside of her top lip was busted.

I make a phone call into First Nurse who says based on where it’s at, YES, she needs to be seen. So I call her Pediatrician at McFarland Clinic. After being hung up on four times on hold-a nurse finally gets ahold of me. No, she’ll be fine the bleedings stopped and it wont bleed anymore. FINE Whatever.

Twenty minutes later, Aubrey is crawling on the floor and I see blood dribbling down my poor baby’s face. Not going to bleed anymore huh McFarland? Screw calling them back-time to call the Pediatric Dentist.

They have me bring her in right away to check the condition of her teeth. It did not look pretty from what she let me see. The dentist says her teeth appear intact without X-Rays. She has several lacerations on her lips and gums, including one that ran up the entire side of a tooth, and she split the “muscle” between your gum and lip. OWIE! And don’t ask me how but at the dentist, she was smiling for them.

Do you see why I do not want a coffee table in my home? Please please please, if a baby gets an injury to their mouth, take them to be seen. We are still not out of the clear yet and now have to watch to make sure no infection pops up or any tooth discoloration occurs.

Playskool has been a name for many years known to provide quality and fun products for children of all ages. A child’s imagination thrives and grows through play. With two young children, I love having the chance to get down on the floor and play with Kelsie and Aubrey. Watching those little minds “create” and explore is truly a fun experience.

The Playskool Clipo Hippo is a toy both Kelsie and Aubrey couldn’t take their eyes and hands off of. With such bright colors, it’s no surprise why Kelsie enjoyed building and clipping pieces together.

• Colorful hippo toy encourages little ones to build all sorts of creations while interlocking the peg-covered CLIPO blocks to each other – and to the hippo!
• Hippo’s mouth opens wide – blocks store inside!
• Rolling wheels for on-the-floor fun.
• Hippo comes with 20 CLIPO parts.
• Ages 18 months and up.

Playskool’s Clipo Hippo was also great for several other reasons. Kelsie enjoyed showing me the colors of each block as well as SHARING. When we took Clipo Hippo to Great-Grandma’s house, she got a kick handing out a block to each person in the room and then showing the Hippo. How fun is that?

Here’s a video of Kelsie and Aubrey during playtime and enjoying Clipo Hippo. (Don’t mind the mess! We get crazy when we play here!)

This toy has become a favorite in our house. Check out Playskool for many more toys for every child in your life.

We have a Pure Romance Winner!

I am really starting to think that Aubrey was a screeching monkey in a past life. I’m just saying. And of course, she was “quiet” when the camera came out
