no one else can smile her smile

i had a good day, despite my fears of driving to Wanaque by myself and seeing pippy sick. The nurses have been telling me she is feeling better, but i convinced myself that they were lying to me because they are scared of me. i have been really mean, so i dont blame them really. when i'm concerned about the pip, i really just can't keep my emotions together.
So, when i got there, pippy smiled a massive smile to welcome me. then we played and played. Piper Jane was herself. her spunky, silly, smiley, hyper-piper and throat grabbing self. i could do without the throat grabbing, but a minor con to so many pros. plus my throat is so grabbable.
her feeding tube disconnected and leaked all over my jeans so i went to the bathroom to clean myself off. i kind of felt like i shouldn't have left her like this, but it was so cute to look from the bathroom and see her standing there all alone and curious.

you can tell she is wondering if she is going to get in trouble for being alone. yeah right....pip in trouble.
when my parents were in town, birdie had a complete heyday with my dad's glasses, so i decided i'd wear some. the first thing she did was pull them off and then poke me in the eye immediately with no warning. and then she laughed at herself.
i might frame this one of the big chucks/little chucks. it was an accident that we matched, i was all "pippy, you and mama match!'' and she was like '' squeak squeak". and then she threw her Dora on the floor. She always does that.
more things that happened today:
~her roommate, rubi, was having a moment with the nurses and they wanted privacy so they pulled the curtain around. the corner was right where we were sitting. Piper Jane peeked around the curtain and watched the whole thing. i pulled her back once, but when she went back and the nurses were laughing so hard, i thought it was probably harmless. she is a curious little monkey frog.
~i was singing pipsey "drive, drive, drive that firetruck" and i was poking her nose on the "ding ding ding'' part and when i stopped, she grabbed my finger and started poking her nose with it. she pays attention! ha
~she was happy enough to clap and smile. since i've taught her to clap, i have figured out that she has to be in a really good mood to do it. I was pretty much sure that "a really good mood" would never happen again, and i was so scared. it feels so good to be wrong.
i'm sorry for being so down about the move. and i'm sorry to my friends who had to hear my sobs and complaints this week. there are at least 5 of yas.

Piper was in a crazy mood today. She wiggled so much that I felt like I was wrestling an alligator. She tried more than once to leap off my lap, repeatedly flipped around to see what was going on in the room (a baby being discharged) and pulled herself into sitting up position. I finally decided to put her back because I was so worn out and read.
When I looked up from my book, I saw this....she mastered the puppy dog eyes. She had wiggled all the way across the crib and flipped upside down. So I gave in.
After more wrestling, I put her back in her cribby. She immediately began pulling out Nurse Pat's gloves one by one from the box. I let her play for a while, but stopped her after about 7.
So, here she is in time out. I edited the photos (taken by my phone) to have a nice angelic glow about them, to make Piper appear less naughty.
