Eilis turns three with a bang
Call it a coincidence, deja vu, or just pure bad luck, but at 2:36 AM, exactly three years to the minute of her birth, Eilis fell out of bed and smacked her head on the hard wood floors. I had turned in early, leaving Eilis in the care of her father, and she decided she wanted to lay on Brighid’s bed to watch a movie. They set her up with a movie, and at some point she fell asleep. Brighid and her father sat up playing video games and never thought to go check on the very quiet Eilis. But there it was, at 2:36 AM, a loud thud and enormous screaming. Happy Birthday, Little Girl.
