Our X.T. (christmas tree) is still outside and it has officially changed colors again, from green (to begin with), to light brown, then to yellow (six months later) and to red (the color it is now). It's still in our driveway and my neighbors just sent their congratulations for finally getting rid of it. They were very proud. I then told them to read my blog, because I have no shame.
Effie has become quite the little Kamikaze jumper this week. She did a nose dive from the baby slide in the backyard (that I purposely moved onto the grass to avoid her falling, but it was still near the cement) onto the concrete which scratched her nose up. Everyone we see keeps asking her who beat her up or who bit her. The next day at the park she decided to walk right into a pole which then aggravated her nose yet again. (a curly haired little Jewish girl with her Mexican nanny walked up to me and asked in one of those real cute baby voices "wha happen to your niña?", after having asked Effie 10 times. Since Effie did not respond [because she's slightly mute], she tried me.) Yesterday she tried doing the same acrobatic leap from a slide about 6 feet higher. Today she decided to run down the driveway 142 times to me, and on the 141th run, she ate it and tasted the concrete again, splitting open her nasty scab that already made her look a little like a baby bear. I have been tempted all week to draw whiskers on her face so people won't think I have been beating her up and so she'd just look like a cute animal. Now it's worse, and as she sleeps I am lathering her snout in Neosporin.
As for our 1st born, she has not done anything funny enough worth posting that I can think of at this time. Have a great weekend. I'm looking forward to mine. Are you? Peace out fools.
