Hey, Capt! I want to apologize for not coming by and wishing you a happy Veteran's Day!
Wednesday was one of those days where, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get anything completed!
Hope wants me to "Look, Grandma! See?" ALL THE TIME!
It is difficult to cook, clean and change Sarah's diapers while "looking and seeing" other stuff! Lol!
...But I don't need a special holiday to tell you Thank You for your service to this country, and to remember those who have given their lives to keep us safe and free in our homeland!
So...it is the *gasp* dreaded Friday the 13th!!
I have little to worry about....can't get out of the house to encounter any black cats or ladders...
I'm pretty safe....I think! Lol!
I don't dare watch the scary movies with Hope in the house....cuz she will dream about them and remember her dreams for weeks!
I surely don't want her to have nightmares when she spends the weekend with her parents...and they would have no idea what she was talking about!
She had a dream about catching a little fish...(she has never been fishing, yet, btw!)...about 3 months ago...
She STILL tells me "I dream about I catch a little fish! I LIKE that dream!"
Last night, Hope was pretending to blow bubbles...
She had the handle that had come off an old rubber spatula, and an empty parmesan cheese jar....
She would stick the handle into the jar and stir it around, then she'd pull the handle out and blow....just like it is supposed to be done!
Again, the kicker is that, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever blown bubbles with her, yet!!
She pretends a lot of stuff....cooking, parenting her toys, sliding on snow, jumping in muddy puddles....
She has a very creative imagination! ....it is very entertaining to watch!
Her passion, though, is playing with water in the bathroom sink! ....many a toy has "needed a bath," or "wants to swim!"
I don't mind much....she will even brush her own teeth while playing at the sink! ....why complain?? Lol!
Yesterday, Sarah was making her noise...loudly!...and refusing to put bites of food into her own mouth....
I came out of the bathroom just in time to see Hope scoop up a bite and try to make Sarah take the spoon!
Sarah wanted her to put the bite into her mouth...but Hope has short arms and the food fell off the spoon...But it triggered something in Sarah and she started eating all by herself!
It is so awesome to watch Hope play with Sarah!
Hope knows that Sarah's brain is "broken," and recognizes a seizure when Sarah has one....She has alerted me to a seizure a couple times, now...
Then she puts her hand on Sarah and says "You will be fine!"
I truly do feel blessed to have had Hope living with us! She has been good for us all!!
I guess I better get this posted before my phone decides to eat it! Lol!
I made TWO attempts to post in Dazzy's thread....and TWO times, my phone ate the message before I could post it!!
Maybe I'll get to try it again, later...
Hope wants me to "look" and "see" right now! Lol!
I hope you have a Frightless Friday the 13th, my friend!!
