Casa de Injuries

Well for crying out loud!  I am the only fully functioning member of this household these days.  Dad still has a broken wrist and mom came home early from work today because she hurt her back.  Again.  I have given out about as many hugs and kisses as I can possibly manage.  Mom and dad say they help but they are both still gimping around here like 95 year olds!  My parents are quite the pair.

Dad had his appointment with the hand surgeon today.  They hit it off very well because the surgeon is a big bike racer and started a bike team here in Tucson.  He and dad spent most of the appointment time talking bikes and races and oh, yeah, surgery is Monday.  Dad is very happy because he can be back on his bike in 3-4 days after the surgery as opposed to 10-12 weeks in a cast.  So dad is on the mend.

I continue to work on my potty chart.  Some of the initial excitement has worn off but I'm still earning stickers and prizes.  I did finally try to go potty at daycare which is a big deal.  Good for me!

Some more Jordanisms:

"Bean bag.  Hmmmm.  That's a nice word mom.  Beanbag"

Here's a great way to get your mom's attention.

Mom is really trying to get me to say please when I ask for something.  Her current teaching method involves not acknowledging me until I say please.  

So we are on our way back from Sierra Vista on Saturday when I drop one of my party favors on the floor of the car.

"Mom. Get that for me.  Mom, get it.  MOM, GET IT.  MOM.MOM.MOM."

Pause for minute- wheels turning....

"Leah, get that for me!  LEAH.  LEAH."

Don't think that didn't get mom's attention!  I still had to say please but at least she responded!

Have a great week everyone and we will try to get better in time for the weekend.
