First Visit to the ER

We went to dinner with our besties on Wednesday evening, leaving the girls at their house. While we were out, their dog, Peanut took a bite on Mya's face. Apparently, Mya was sitting on Peanut's pillow and I can only assume, bothering him. He most likely became annoyed and responded the only way he knew how. It just so happened they were eye level with each other. We cleaned it up, bandaged it and went home. As we drove home, I began to wonder if we should bring her into the ER. The bite wasn't that bad, but there was one spot that was a bit deeper than the rest. It was about the length of a fingernail. I wondered about the possibility of having that glued.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Claire!

Dearest Claire, You are officially 4 years old today, but in all honesty, I can't quite bring myself to look beyond that baby girl I hold close to my heart. Words cannot describe or accurately express the love I've felt for the past 4 years and the excitement that coexists as I think about your future. You are such a bright ray of sunshine. Not always full of happiness, but always full of fire. You have a such a spark that I simply hope never fades. You are timid towards new situations, but once acclimated, you approach with gusto! I love that about you. "Go hard or go home" seems very appropriate for you. Claire, you are a kind to others, loving towards your family and friends and such a smartie. I couldn't be more pleased with the amount of skills you've learned this year. You have been the beginning steps of learning to read! My little girl, READING! I long for the day when I catch you reading to Mya. Such a sweet vision...
