I am the Universe

NG is getting really excited about learning that her Daddy is also her Father and that her Mommy is also her Mother. And that she is our Daughter. It seems to be an amazing discovery to learn these words mean the same thing and she likes to repeat it often.

Today, she said:

"Daddy is my Father."

"That's right, honey."

"And Mommy is my Mother," she continued.

"Yes, Mommy is also your Mother," I replied.

"And I am the Universe."

"No, honey, you are the Daughter," I corrected.

"No," she corrected me, "I am the Universe."

Then I remembered a conversation from last night when my husband, frustrated by NG's very demanding behavior, said to her "You are NOT the center of our universe, NG."

Well, apparently, she is.

Baby's New Do - And Great Looking Eyes

NG has a new haircut, compliments of her Dad and the slip of the scissors. She is thrilled though - she hates her bangs in her eyes.

Note her eyes are straight! Surgery seems to have worked well. After all the heart-wrenching worry, I'm really pleased with the results.

And notice the barely visible injury on her right eyebrow - healing so nicely! That's because we opted to wait for her eye doctor/surgeon to stitch up the huge gash in her brow. It was another dose of general anesthesia which just freaks my world, but it was the right decision.

Making these kinds of decisions as a parent are one of the worst things about parenting. You never know if you are doing the right thing. But I am so grateful/relieved that this has all worked out to date.
