Quick Funnies: Maryn

Maryn Funny #1

I was being silly and yelled up for one of kids by saying,

"Come here POOKIE!"

Well Maryn thought that was so funny, so she tried it.

"Come here PUKE-Y!"

I grinned and told her it was pookie not pukey.

"Oh ok.  Come here POOPIE!"

Maryn Funny #2

Many of you knew that I had 

to take Maryn for some 

Botox injections her leg and arm

as a part of her therapy to 

stretch and strengthen her right side.

Because this is painful, they gave her a little

"happy juice"

to relax her, and she chased it with a juice box.

It made her balance off and she was a bit funny I must admit.

After the procedure, I got her calm and she was back to 

charming the staff.  

I felt so relieved.  I told her that we could go home now and

that I needed to carry her

as to protect her from falling over like a 3 year old drunk.

Instead of being thrilled that she got to leave,

she turned into a holy trashing and screaming terror!

She wanted to walk (aka fall on her face) and stay with the recreational therapist.

I scooped her up and tried not to drop her and the 40 pounds of snacks and electronics that I brought to entertain and calm the sweet 3 year old, gone terror, in my arms.

The worst part is that as I carried her out of the office, 

through the hospital hallway,

outside, 

down the elevator,

and finally to the car

people could stare and hear her screaming these great words...

I WANT MORE HAPPY JUICE!! 

GIVE ME HAPPY JUICE!!

Great, now I have people thinking my preschooler has a sedative addiction.

Good times.
