The family bumps

We have this old kitchen table that my parents gave me.  It's an expandable table where the table can split in the middle and have another section added.  The important thing is the table has two metal rails on the bottom side.  The metal rails have sharp corners.  When a little person turns two the rails are the perfect height for a head bump.  My brother and I bumped our heads on this table when we were just toddlers and now my daughter just did.  It's touching.  Here is this little person we made who is starting down the same journey that I did.  My wife and I live 120 miles away from my parents.  My brother is in the house we grew up in with his wife and daughter.  She will trip on the same little step from the kitchen to utility room, try climbing in the same cupboards, and experience many other things my brother and I did.  We have the table and maybe one day my daughter will be a mother watching her young one bump their head in the same spot we did.

Little nap

Today is Saturday and we just got back from shopping. Before that we were taking a nap. Marissa slept for three hours in the bed with us. It was the best sleep I ever got.  When I woke up I turned to my side and saw Marissa sleeping with one of her eyes partially open.  I guess she can sleep with her eyes open like a marine.  Before we went to sleep there was a great deal of chaos in the house. She was constipated.  She was saying in her crib and started screaming. There was a giant turd stuck and it wasn't coming out.  Michelle put a wipe on her finger and tried getting the poop out. I was still napping. Marissa passed the poop and we all took a nap together in our bed.
