4/4/11

Today I picked up Bailee and Miles from daycare.  I love seeing the smile on Bailee’s face when she sees me.  When we got in the car to come home, I put Miles in first, as usual.  Then Bailee and I walked to the other side so that she could get in her seat.  As I was about to start the car, Bailee said something about kissing Miles.  I thought she meant that I had not kissed him, only to find out that she was all buckled in and couldn’t reach him to give him a kiss.  What a sweet sister.
Miles had some fever when I picked him up.  When we got to gigi’s he enjoyed a bottle and then pepaw holding him and rocking him.  He tried so hard to laugh but would start coughing instead.  I do hope he gets better soon!
Bailee had a sharp fingernail and I said something about letting her mommy cut them.  Her reply, “I don’t want my mommy to cut them because she is crazy”!
Her daddy reported that a little boy came up to Bailee today and held her hand when she got to school.  Daddy gave him the evil eye and whispered in Bailee’s ear that she doesn’t need to hold little boy’s hands.  What will he ever do when she gets older??
Miles is now reaching for people when he wants them.  He is also almost sitting alone.  My how he has grown over the last few weeks.
Recently, I told Bailee that TahTah was coming to see her.  She says, “Good, I want to touch her!”
Bailee and I were talking about horses one day and she informed me that she doesn’t like horses.  Hmmm, no she only likes white ponies!
Here’s a couple of her new phrases: 
I commented that Miles would probably wake up soon, she replied “he is so predictable”.
And another that I can’t remember why she said it is, “this is serious”.
I still miss them each day, but have realized that right now I am just not healthy enough to take care of them full-time.  Hopefully, sinus surgery, tomorrow will be the beginning of my health improving.

Last night was a long night.  I’m not really sure why I had such a hard time getting to sleep.  Could it be the caffeine in my new pain medicine?
Melissa took me for my CT Scan and pre-op visit this morning.   For the most part the people who waited on us today seemed to be very rude.  We thought maybe they were upset because they’d spent money on pedicures so that they could wear flip flops and the temperature was in the 30s….it isn’t spring weather yet.  I don’t much like for my feet to be cold either. 
I was glad that Melissa was with me because focus was a real problem today.  Each person has to ask questions and at times they each ask the same.  They each enter my answers in the computer system which already has many of the answers.  I guess I should be thankful.
Red had a unit of blood removed yesterday at his dr. appt. This resulted in his normally high blood pressure dropping to normal, which is very low for him.  He has been in bed all day today not feeling well.  I think back how Bailee would sneak into pepaw’s room, pat him on his leg and ask him if he was ok.  She is such a caring little person.
When I had oral surgery recently, Bailee and Miles, came to visit me and brought me some yummy ice cream.  She got up on the bed with me and we shared it.  That day and night is pretty much a blur in my memory, but I do remember that special time.
