Migraines

Anna copying Daddy.

She wants out of the car!!!

So I played a game with her. She thought it was hilarious.

Anna laughing.

Tuckered out girl.

Two nights ago we went to the ER. Paul gets terrible migraines and this was the first time he had seen a doctor about them. He's going to get an MRI Monday evening. And it looks like his employer hired him with no intention on keeping him beyond a week. So... it's been a good week. :/ *sigh* But here is a cute pic or two of Anna from this week. (We are borrowing a car right now. Our car is now officially dead.) grrr

A Pretty Bow

I made this bow for Anna to wear tomorrow. I cannibalized a broken headband and added the red and white ribbon and the little fan of flag ribbon, then put it on a clip. Happy 4th of July! I'll post photos of tomorrow soon! :)

"I'll be right back."

The other day Paul went for a jog on the field which is on the other side of that fence you see in the photos. Anna put on her plastic dress up shoes and told me, "I'll be right back, Mama. I'll be right back. Go find Daddy. I'll be right back." You gotta love that determination and spunk. She kept reassuring me that she'd be right back. She would go on the other side of that fence, through THE BRIERS and get to Daddy! I told her no, then I went inside and checked on her not one minute later. She was already on the other side of the fence and several feet along the back. She had even crossed a thorny little sucker which scratched up her legs. I had to rescue her from the briers. She really wanted her Daddy! She didn't even notice the scratches.

Then today, we went on a long walk to mail a letter. She ended up falling and scratching up her knee so badly that she was bleeding all over. She was bewildered and didn't even cry once. (Thank goodness!) She kept looking at the blood that got on her hands and she said one thing and one thing only. "It hurting." We got her all patched up and she was fine. She walked stiff-legged so I had to carry her from the mailing office back home. That's quite a ways if you know this campus! Especially with a 30 pound toddler on your hip! In the heat!

It didn't start hurting until later. Then I gave her some Tylenol and she was fine. Later tonight she was playing with her lemonade--spilling it and splashing it of all things!--and got it on her knee. She kept asking for a doctor lol. So I gave her doctor gummies (Operation Game-themed gummies) and several Popsicles to ease the pain (Thank goodness for Otter Pops! So cheap! And so many!!!) She seemed fine, but then the pain quickly came back and she was begging on her knees (literally!!!), "Doctor! Pwease!!! Pwease!!!" lol Poor thing. :(

Straightening Fiasco

"Before"

The other day I straightened Anna's hair... AND HATED IT! Observe the awesomeness... actually, I really missed the curls. *cries* I'm glad that they're back! Woot! You can click to enlarge. Before & after pics of the curly and straight hair.

Pizza

Mmmm. Pizza. I wish Anna ate pizza. She HATES pizza! With a passion. There are days that I really miss pizza lol!

Potty Trained!!! (???)

I think Anna is potty trained officially! We were out all day today and she was in underwear! She didn't have an accident! In fact, she never has accidents (Seriously!). I'm anxious that this all went so smoothly that it's not so, but I'm fairly certain that she's potty trained! She basically trained herself for crying out loud. I'm not boasting. I'm actually pretty SHOCKED that it was so easy and I'm a little paranoid, too!

PS--Tillamook Yogurt is sooooooooooooooo good! It's like eating ICE CREAM it's so good!

♥

When I said "I love you" to Anna, she used to say, "I, too." Later, I would tell her I loved her and she would say, "I, you." Lately she says, "I yuh you." =)
