the weather has finally warmed up again, so the kids all played outside at the park during co-op today. i ran a few errands and enjoyed a cup of coffee before picking adella up. i pulled up just in time to see kim cleaning adella's hands after she decided to play with some dog poo on the sidewalk. great. i cringed every time i saw her take a bite of her peanut butter sandwich on the way home. things have been pretty quiet around here lately. i'm finally getting rid of the crud in my lungs and head, and starting to feel almost normal again. the nice weather has perked me up too, and maybe i'll take adella out for a walk this afternoon. we'd better enjoy the warm weather while we can - you never know if it might decide to snow on us again. adella's going through a very picky stage right now. everything has to be just so, otherwise she'll be very upset. i don't know if she's forgiven stig yet for trying to cut her hot dog into bites for her. she must have spent 5 minutes trying to reattach the end he cut off. and shame on me for trying to peel her banana! once she was satisfied with the way i stuck the peel back on, she felt okay about re-peeling it and finally eating it. i'm counting on this being just a phase and not the beginning signs of OCD. sorry for the quickie post, but i'll write more soon, i promise!
