Hair In Emma's Tongue

Today, I was driving to the store when Emma started crying. I look in my mirror and she had a very concerned face. I asked what was wrong. She informed me that there was a hair stuck in her tongue and it was hurting her. I thought she was meaning she had a hair wrapped around her tongue, so I asked if she could feel her tongue still. She informed me that she could and that it wasn't wrapped, it was stuck in her tongue. As I was calming her down and letting her know that I would check it as soon as we got to Smith's, I was wondering how in the world could a hair get stuck in her tongue? I have had hair in my mouth, but never in my tongue?

So we finally get there and I go around the car to check. I look and sure enough there is a hair stuck in her tongue (kind of like a hair splinter...Debra knows about those). As far as I could see, the hair was still attached to her head. I pull it and it breaks off, still with a short piece stuck. Now Emma is pulling away because it hurts trying to talk to me with her tongue out of her mouth as Madi is watching intensely. I finally get a hold of it again and pull it out as Emma is trying to tell me to stop. Then she takes a big sigh of relief as I got it all out this time and the pain ceases.

Zoo Trip With The Edwards

Yesterday the girls and I went to the zoo with Michelle, Olivia and Brooklyn. We had so much fun. We ate lunch by the zebras.

Every time we go to the zoo we attend the bird show and every time they ask questions at the beginning of the bird show, the girls always raise their hands wanting to be picked. Well, this time, Emma was chosen and she answered the question correctly (she has memorized them, since she has heard the questions five times since June). She got a free ticket for the train ride; she was so excited.

My favorite part of the zoo this time was watching the Mom market nursing six babies (born July 4th). The first picture was when we first starting watching her, then after a few minutes the babies moved around so much that the mom slowly started to fall forward. Finally she got up and moved to the rock in front of her; two babies followed her and started nursing again.

Madi's Front Tooth

Last night Madi's tooth finally was pulled out by Daddy. It was hanging loosely in her mouth for several days. Her other top front tooth is loose, but not quit ready to come out. Just a few weeks ago one of her bottom teeth fell out as she was eating an apple.

Zoo Trip With The Basshams

The girls and I went to the zoo today with Lori, Garret and Matthew. We had so much fun. This is our forth trip to the zoo this summer; we haven't gotten tired of it yet. We got to see the adorable baby giraffe and baby snow leopard.

Tea Party with Papa

Glenn came over for two days to help me prime and paint the front door. It looks great! After school the girls were so excited to see Papa; they decided to have a tea party for him. While drinking their tea they were wishing Nana was their too.

Note: This is Madi's room; look at those beautiful shutters we just got.

Where is Madi?

We were at Youth Group, closing everything up, getting ready to leave, when Emma approached me concerned as she couldn't find Madi. As some of you know, Madi tends to dare too far away sometimes, but at that time I wasn't too concerned. I assured Emma we would find her. As we were walking down the hall to the front of the building, I heard a faint knock. As we got closer to the bathrooms, I realized there was someone on the other side of the women's bathroom door. As I opened the door I saw my little MadiAnne with tears rolling down her checks. She was locked inside for her petite arms could not get the door open. We embraced and all was fine.

My Shoes Are Alive

We were talking to my In-Laws the other day on the web cam and Grammy asked how the girls like their shoes that Aunt Debra sent them. Emma was explaining that the strap broke on hers, but I had fixed it, etc. Madi pipes in with, "my shoes are alive." It was so cute! We knew that she was meaning that all is well with her shoes...
