Chemicals can be hazardous in more ways than one. Tonight as I did the dishes, I heard a suspicious noise behind me. Turning, I saw Aila with the can of apple-cinnamon air freshener, set on the floor in front of her, using both her thumbs to press the button. Thankfully, it is drenching the floor in front of her instead of spraying in her face. I dropped the dishcloth and ran over to grab the can, putting well out of reach, then went back for some paper towels. Unfortunately, I hadn't reckoned on the floor being so slick. Almost in slow motion, I slid sideways, landing on my left hip in apple-cinnamon slime. If I had to fall, at least I will smell like fall.
I would also like to record for posterity that today Aila has dumped the basket of markers, a couple glasses of water, food from her plate, a bunch of stuff from the camping equipment bin, a substantial amount of cat litter, and an entire container of BB's. On a lighter note, she has started saying "Vi" for Levi which is very cute. Her vocabulary includes: Mommy, Daddy (her favorite word), shoe, which sounds more like she, and is tied for favorite word, owie, wa for water, doggy, baby, go-gee for gentle (as she strokes my face) uggy for yucky, ah for hot, and a little sing-song routine when she wants to nurse. She pulls at the neck of my shirt, rocks side to side, and sings, "Uh huh, uh huh" The uh being a higher note and the huh being a lower note. It's working for her so far.
