Look!

Is that my lung on the other side of the room? That cold I mentioned last week? Still here. It settled nicely in my chest, as colds seem to do to me, and decided to stay awhile. On Saturday, the coughing really started. By Sunday, I sounded kind of like a seal. It plays havoc with sleep. It's the kind of cough gives you fits where you sweat, start gagging, get headaches, and feel dizzy afterwards. In other words, I've stayed home from school the last two days. I'm still coughing, but it's much better today. Time for me to go back to work tomorrow.

In other news, Sera is still into her veggies. Jim was eating a sandwich last week. She spied food and took off running. Jim let her have a bite fully expecting her to spit it back out. His sandwich was made with pepperoni, salami, onions, green pepper, ham, and garlic mayonaisse, I think. He's giving Dagwood a run for his money. She chewed up her bite, nodded, and dove back in for seconds. She came out with a huge piece of green pepper hanging out of her mouth. She bit off a piece, gave another big nod, and took off holding the rest of that green pepper. She proceeded to eat the rest of the ring. A few days later, I was eating Garlic Shrimp at the Chinese restaurant. She reached into my plate and started eating the veggies: carrots, pea pods, broccoli, and green peppers. It's hysterical.

She's also discovered her butterfly rocker. It's been in her room all along, but she's never really shown interest in it. I placed her on it a few times, and she'd cry to get off. Now, she climbs on and off by herself and loves to rock. I'll bring my camera to her room next time to get a picture.

Speaking of photos, wouldn't a photo printer be cool? 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a giveaway. Check them out.
