### Random

With a sick little girl, we didn't do anything for Valentine's Day--I did get out the special red plate and goblet for Bradley at dinner, and it was SO romantic--Ezra standing on his chair to reach the "cookie rolls", refusing any bites of lasagna, Mercy eagerly eating bites and then fishing the bits of ricotta cheese from her mouth and flinging them to the floor. I don't get it, but that's what she did.
We also had our second visit by the early intervention people--this time a nurse and occupational therapist. They were here for two hours, and the upshot is that Gideon will get OT twice a month for a while, and since we have paid and will pay (once all the bills arrive) almost $10,000 in medical expenses (that includes the insurance premimum taken out of Bradley's paycheck), our adjusted family income (barely) is such that we get the visits for free. That's nice, but since the next level up is only ten dollars a month for however many visits are necessary, either way it wouldn't be a burden.
Gideon was weighed yesterday and he is a whopping 11 pounds 3 oz at almost 2 months! He is my precious little tank of a boy who is smiling more and more--especially at his momma who loves him.
Jen, everytime I walk downstairs carrying a kid, I worry about falling. That sounds very painful and uncomfortable and scary--I'm glad you two weren't seriously hurt.
LaDale--awesome about the long-term position, although I'm sorry about the reason for getting it. It will be so nice to know where you are going every morning and to be able to discipline your students--even when they are full of hormones and sugar. And, yes, that is what I was referring to ten years ago.
Finally, Samuel, is your favorite part of Lilo and Stitch when Lilo says, "Don't leave me" as the spaceship zooms away and Stitch says "Okay" in a soft little voice and then sets the frog down and says, "Okay" in an evil not so little voice? Because I really liked that part. Although the part when Lilo calls Cobra Bubbles and tells him that aliens are attacking her house is really great too. (Can you tell what I've watched several several times lately?)
Ooooh, and did you know that Lois Lane's sister Lucy is the same girl who played Teresa in "Oscar", as in, "We don't HAVE a daughter who isn't Lisa!"
