Ruby Notes....


Since this is truly a "scrap book/journal" for me I need to remember some of the funny things that happen around here....  Two days ago I was doing something in my office and Ruby was eating yogurt covered raisins in the room next to me..  All of a sudden she started to cry.  One of those scared/hurt cries.  I ran in to check on her, and she had stuffed one raisin up each nostril and they were stuck!   Thankfully, the nurse (me) in the house was able to extract both without to much difficulty.  Jeff appreciated my short call to the office asking where he put the tweezers!!!!  I had one scared little Ruby who most likely will never shove anything up her nose again!!!!

Yesterday I took her to the Gap to see if they had any white dresses.  They were having a sale so I grabbed a few things, including a green dress (my new favorite color) and a white sun hat...  She wanted to go into the dressing room to try them on....  I don't recall Ruby ever trying anything on at the store before...  She loved the green dress so much, that she refused to take it off.  It is pictured above, as she had the salesperson cut off the tags and ring her up!  She proudly walked out of The Gap in it!

Next we moved on to the skin care counter at Macy's where she held court with one of the Clinique employees while I talked to another one about the dark circles under my eyes!  She had a lengthy conversation with this girl.  Not sure about all of it, but she loved her audience!  From there we moved on to get a smoothie.  While Ruby was waiting for hers she was sitting at a table.  She loudly proclaimed  for all to here, "FUN DAY MOM!!!!"  I am very thankful for my little buddy named Ruby Mei today.  She just makes me smile!

Blessings,

Love the stories about Ruby! She is such a cutie. Love the photos!And although I am sure it was scary, the raisin story will be a good one to remind her of when she is older! Too cute!

How sweet!!! She is a doll. Gotta love them Jiangxi girls!!! My oldest put a raisin up her nose at daycare and no one could get it out, so I had to go and get her and take her to the doctor. Her daycare teachers and directors as well as I had tried to get her to blow her nose and nothing. We get to the doctor (military base, emergency room) and in comes this big doctor and he says he has to get some other help, so in walks 2 other big guys and then the doctor stops and asked A to blow her nose and out comes the raisin. I was so mad yet so glad all at the same time!!!
