Kohls and Hummingbirds

So today i was feeling pretty good and decided to get out for a change. i went to Kohl's and shopped a little bit. i was given a gift card for moma for Christmas from my moms boyfriend and since the weather is turning warmer and she has no summer outfits, i thought i would go and see what kind of deals they were having. i spent $20.00 and got her two pairs of shorts and two short-sleeved shirts. they're super cute. she's going to be stylin'!! i was debating on whether to buy 3T or 4T. right now she is easily wearing 3T outfits. she still fits into some 2T things like dresses and some longer pants, but she's mostly wearing 3T items now. some of her 3T shirts are looking a little tight so i thought that i would just buy 4T clothes and if i need to pin the shorts to make them fit tighter so be it. i can't believe my not-even-two-year-old is wearing 3T and now 4T items. that's nuts! i stopped at Joann's as well today (I'll get to the story of why in a minute) i was standing in line and these two women in front of me asked how old moma was. i said "she'll be two at the end of April" they couldn't believe how tall she was. she's so dang tall!! i don't even have to roll her 3T pants up anymore because they fit her perfectly. it's nuts. she's in the 100th percentile for her height right now. she's an amazon baby!! she's getting pretty skinny right now too, so i think she's going though another growth spurt. she's getting chicken legs!!
So on to the story of why i went to Joann's. The other day, my mom's cat had something in it's mouth. she thought it was his little mouse toy that he plays with, but it ended up squeaking so she knew it must be a baby bird. it was so tiny. so she got the cat away from it and tried to "rescue" it. well, when she got closer, she realized that it was actually a tiny hummingbird. it was super small and barely moving . she was afraid it was dead (or at least half dead) and she didn't want to pick it up since she was afraid it was bloody. she called her boyfriend who was on his way over and asked if he could pick it up when he got there. he said that he would have to get some gloves first. my mom thought this was a little weird since he's a big strong burly man, but whatever. so my mom put a bowl over the top of the hummingbird to keep it in place. when her BF got there, he slowly crept up to the bowl to inspect the hummingbird. when he lifted the bowl and prepared to grab it (with a napkin) it flew!! they thought it was near death so it was a little surprising that it was flying around. well, her BF thought it had flown into his hair so he flies back on his butt and starts flailing around hitting himself in the head. meanwhile, my mom is laughing hysterically and trying to get him to calm down at the same time. she didn't know it, but he told her that he is afraid of birds. he said he had a bad experience once. anyways, my mom realizing that the hummingbird wasn't bloody went over and picked it up with her bare hands and put it outside in the tree and saved it. it's been kind of a joke with everyone the last few days since the incident. so today i stopped by Joann's and i picked up a stained glass hummingbird decoration. i drove to my moms work and gave it to her to give to her BF. he is a mailman and i told her he should hang it from his rear view mirror in his mail truck. i can't wait to hear what his response is to the "gift" i got for him. she's going to give it to him tonight. it's going to be funny.
anyways, that's all for today i'm doign better on my posting lately can you tell. it must be because i'm feeling a little better and not barfing all the time!
