Drunk Love

I have to backtrack to my New Year's Day post

to share a very funny story.

A story about the very first night that Piper slept

in her big girl bed.

Let me start at the beginning.

My grandmother made a fruitcake for me for Christmas

and sent it over via my parents.

The night they arrived,

we cut off a few slices of the fruitcake

and had some with a cup of tea.

Piper LOVED it.

She couldn't get enough of it.

My mother, in particular,

thought this was bizarre,

saying that Piper was the first child she's ever known

that likes fruitcake.

Needless to say,

we were excited to call my grandmother and let her know

just how much Miss Piper loved her cake.

She was equally surprised that my 2 year old liked it.

I was less surprised, 

since I know that Piper just loves 'cake' in general.

Ha.

Fast forward a couple of hours.

My grandmother realized that she had put RUM in the fruitcake.

She started to feel really bad about it and called my sister in a panic.

She explained that we fed Piper the cake with rum

and she was afraid hat it would somehow hurt her.

This caused my sister to laugh uncontrollably.

Which, in turn, led my grandmother to laugh uncontrollably.

By the time my sister called me to relay the phone call,

I was both equally amused at my grandmother's worry

and the fact that she wouldn't call me about it herself.

So darn cute!!!

As if this whole situation wasn't funny enough as it was,

this was also the night that Piper fell out of her new bed.

My father's first reaction was to say that I should call my grandmother

and tell her that Piper must have been drunk

because she fell out of her bed.

Hahaha.

Terrible.

But.

So.

Funny!

I did tell my grandmother the story in the end,

but chose not to make her think that she made my child intoxicated. 

Love my grandmother.

Love my daughter.

Love fruitcake!

Now,

Elliotte, on the other hand, is a different story.

I ate my share of the fruitcake and then nursed her.

That was the ONLY night in four months that she slept through the night.

Perhaps I should eat more fruitcake?

She's sober.
I promise!

This one is too.
I'm sure you're not as convinced though.
Momma is definitely drunk on love here!!!
