Wrinkles between my eyebrows (aka: Emma's gift to her mother)

The kids and I were grocery shopping the other day and Nate dropped his paci in the cart. As I was trying to retrieve the germ-ridden mouth appendage from the bottom of the cart, Emma piped up with...

"Mom, I wouldn't look in here if I were you." When I obviously asked her "Why?", she said, "Because I took my shoes off and you are not going to like that."And that's how Emma rolls...if no one sees what she is doing, it isn't wrong...right?

Nate had another neurology appointment today, and it went very well. I really do enjoy talking with our neurologist when the students are out of school (meaning, he doesn't have med students following him around during all the appts). It just makes for a lighter and more relaxed appt. Plus, he is a really interesting doc, and I love hearing him chit-chat about the pediatric medical world. I am thankful for the relationship we have had with this wonderful doctor for over a year now.Anyway, he said that Nathan looked better today than he has ever seen him...and he was right! Nathan is having an awesome week. The month of April was a rough one for him on so many levels, and looking back, I think that his breathing problems were the root of everything. Once we got a control on his asthma, he started sleeping through the night consistently for the first time ever. With that, his energy levels are so much better than they have been in a long time, and his strength is coming back, and because he isn't having to work so hard to breathe all the time, he has gained almost a pound in the past couple of weeks. It's seriously like having a new kiddo around here. And its a wonderful sight to see...even if we have to lock all the doors in the house from now on...
