in need of some strange events

so i need to go out with my camera and have some fun. way too stressed the fuck out. wait, i think a drink will help me out. or some strrange events...
yes...

her birthday number four

gifts from me: a hello kitty puzzle, dora play-do, light brite, matching game. we have played matching game twice, put the puzzle together twice... i am amazed at how quickly she picked up on how to find the correct pieces when we did the puzzle. it is a one hundred piece puzzle, not a pre-schooler puzzle. i got it thinking she would have fun watching me put it together, watching the pieces make a picture, with her helping here and there. but instead, we were a team. i found pieces that might match, she put them in the right spot. towards the end, i was getting a little tired: i handed her pieces and she put them where they go when i told her the correct placement. still, she was so good at it! my little problem solver azyah!

days of natural birth labor led up to this day four years ago at a lovely hospital with trees surrounding it up on a hill. it stormed for a while the night before she was born, it was starting to rain when i finally made it up to the hill... she was born 9 hours or so later, all pain forgiven and forgotten, if remembered at all in the first place. the doctor stood in the doorway to my right, smiling with his hands behind his back while the midwife and her nurse helped me. and after it all was done, we both slept for hours, hazing in and out of consciousness to eat. she was tiny and all wrapped up in her little hospital new born blue stripe blanket lovely. today a good friend congratulated me for doing it the natural way, it made me feel happy!
