allthatjazmyne's death - I've just been thrown for a loop this week. I have had 3 full days of truly bad coughing. Fortunately, I have a doctor's appointment in the morning (just an annual checkup) - so I guess I'll see then if there's anything that can be done. I'm also hoping that my cholesterol levels have dropped just a little since last year.... Just a little would be enough to make me very very happy.
If my brain were on right, I could probably dredge up some cute Elena stories for you. In the last few days, whenever I ask her just about anything, her response (when she isn't upset/screaming) is to chirp "Okay, Mommy!" (And she usually means it too.) Somehow, it cracks me up.
Today, we were outside blowing bubbles, and my jar of bubble solution was running very low - so actual bubble production was iffy. So every time I managed to get a bubble, she'd yell "You blowed three bubbles! You blowed two bubbles!" But every time I blew and it didn't work, she'd turn to me and say (in a voice of great concern), "You having trouble?" Every.Time.
She's really obsessed right now with a Caillou video from the library (it's a PBS show) - and I think one of her favorite parts is the FBI warning. She always announces, "FBI!" at the beginning when it comes on.
Speaking of the library - I just love volunteering there. Yay.

It makes me sad when the kids take that tone of voice with me, because I want them to know I'm there to take care of them, and not vice versa. I hated having to tiptoe around my parents as a kid and I don't want them to feel that way too.
PS. OMG I can not stand Caillou. So annoying! The kids like to watch it on the weekends when it's on PBS Sprout. I usually try to get them to watch some Star Trek or Red Dwarf instead. *whistles innocently*
