Carmen is still doing fairly well. We are giving her Ativan every night to get her to sleep and save strength for her day time marathon breathing episodes. She seemed comfortable today.

Carmen had her 2 year check up on Monday and weighed in at 30 lbs. and 8 oz.

Here are a couple of funny things Lauren said recently:

Lauren: “Wow, that’s a really cool toy!”
Sideways glace at me.
“Cool means neat.”

Ah, I am so old that my 4 year old feels the need to explain “cool” to me.

I wash both girls’ hair with California Baby shampoo. Not only do I LOVE the smell but Lauren has very sensitive skin and California Baby works well for her. I happened to find a good sale so I bought 9 (nine) bottles of shampoo. (This is completely uncharacteristic of me. Normally I detest having stockpiles of anything.) Dave lined the shampoo bottles up on a shelf in our bathroom. I was running Lauren’s bath in the guest bathroom and asked if she would please go find a bottle of shampoo. She runs to our bathroom and comes back and says, “So, mom, you collect shampoo?”

Yep, I am so “cool” that I collect shampoo.

Our site has been down quite a bit lately. We are working on a solution. Well, Dave is working on a solution. Sorry about the inconvenience!
