Move Over Michael Phelps!

Maddox has just finished up his first six week session of swimming lessons at the local "Y" He seemed to really enjoy it and is already signed up for his next set of lessons. He likes his instructor, Judy very much and he spends his entire thirty minutes of pool time grinning from ear to ear. Judy feels that he is ready to brave the pool with Mommy watching from the window -question is- is Mommy ready??

Tell Me Where It Hurts


We have had a cold/flu virus running through our house for the past week or so. Last night about an hour after being tucked in for the night Mia woke up. I went in to see what was wrong and found her covered in sweat and quite fussy. This was our conversation:

Nana: "Mimi, are you sick?"

Mia: "Yeah" (Small pathetic voice coming from the curled up little ball of pink flannel in the toddler bed.)

Nana: "Does anything hurt?"

Mia: "Yeah"

Nana: "What hurts?"

small pause...........

Mia: ME!
I sure hope that Tylenol is effective on general "ME" pain.
