Jade’s current favourite book is Walter the Farting Dog. Her current favourite song is “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and she does her best to sing along, usually getting every few words like this: “stah… die-mun… sky!” One of her current favourite activities is counting.
I was trying to finish my supper tonight when Jade insisted she was done. I kept shovelling food into my mouth with one hand and started raising my fingers one by one with the other hand. She stopped telling me she was “stuck” in her chair and was mesmerized by my fingers. And she started, well, we’ll call it counting. I had to work hard not to laugh. I asked if she would count for the camera, so here she is:
She’s such a ham; she knows that camera is on her! I love how she knows she should finish counting a hand with either five or ten and when I put up yet another finger she’s not sure what to do. Um, four? Hahaha!
Oh yes, and the clothespins on her t-shirt are such a fashion statement, no? I took them out of my music bag, where I usually keep them for holding music onto a music stand when The Big Band does gigs outside. Nothing sucks more than having your music blow away in the wind. Anyway, Jade found them and wanted to wear them, so she got one on each sleeve and nine of them along her jeans cuffs. The girl loves her bling.
It was a good day. No seizures all day at daycare, and just a couple of really short twitchy ones in the evening. And asleep by 7:30. Oh yeah!
Thanks for all the great responses on the last post. Some of them made me cry. But in a good way. I puffy heart you all.
