George the Frog

So here is an update of this week so far!...Brooklyn found some scissors (which wasn't too hard unfortunatly) and cut her hair- she said she wanted to pretend she had short hair-- I don't think she understood it is permanent until it grows out again--SO I took the kids to Great Clips and we all got hair cuts (except tanner). Brooklyn got a cute "bob", mine just got trimmed and Cristine got layers cut to help her bottom curls shine through! WOW! Could two girls' hair be any different from eachother? Believe it or not- cristine's curl is all natural- brooklyn had curly hair when she was a baby and it all fell out- yes I cried.

Brooklyn reminds me soo much of Grandma Earl (tysons mom)- she had a short bob and ran around the farm with her brothers growing up. Brooklyn is soo much like her- I could just let her play outdoors in a garden all day and she would be soo happy!

"Look out first grade boys!"

Later we went to the park and as I was watching tanner "drive" the play equipment with a giant steering wheel- something wet and slimy landed in my hair- gross! It turned out to be a little frog about the size of a nickle. Soooo, I caught him and brought him home for my kids to torture- I mean- to learn about. They named him "George" but to tanner he will always be "frog"

WE played for an hour or so and then told george "goodnight" and let him go in the backyard.

Tanner has had an allergic reaction needing benadryl EVERYDAY so far this week and tonight he projectile vomited his chocolate milk again (on me of course) He suddenly said there was a bee in his mouth and out dinner came- then he was fine. It is time to call the allergist- poor little guy.

Brooklyn had her appt. with the Gastroenterologist at Tx Childrens Hospital yesterday. WE ran a few ideas around and decided a scope was definitly needed for a diagnosis of any kind. She is scheduled for an endoscopy next Friday (the 28th). It shouldn't be hard on her- we are just praying for answers to be found. The doctor asked her to show him some ballet and she said "no- you are a boy- and that is a girl thing"

While we were waiting in the room tanner brought me a Dr. Suess Book in Spanish- I said "Sorry Tanner I don't know how to read this book" Brooklyn said:

"Mom, I know spanish...Ni Hou!"

Me: "I'm pretty sure that is japanese"

Brooklyn: "mom- you just don't "get" spanish---ALoha!"(as in goodbye aloha) ;)

then she ran off to go count the fish..Uno, Dos, Tres...
