Patience...
Reese found out last night that her aunt Mary was coming to town on Friday night. She is quite excited. This morning woke up in a 'mood' and told me that she was going to wait on my bed for Mary to come...here's to waiting 36 hours. Good thing hot milk was effective in getting her to the car without a lot of tears.

Will's Ponytail
Yesterday afternoon the kids were taking a bath together and Reese had to go to the bathroom. I walked in on her with her trying to pee like a boy. I laughed gently and said, ‘Honey, what are you doing?’
The rest of the conversation will be a memory forever…
Reese responded, ‘Mommy, what is this?’ pointing to her privates.
Me (calmly and sophisticatedly): “Reese, that is your vagina.”
Reese: “Girls have a vagina?’
Me: “yes.”
Reese: “Boys have a vagina?”
Me: “No girls have a vagina, boys have a penis.”
Reese: “Boys have a penis”
Me: “Yes honey”
Reese: “Daddy and Will-man are boys.”
Me: “Yes.”
Reese: Pointing between Will’s legs somewhat confused, “And mommy-Will-man has a ponytail.”

$200 Hairball
Today we had our first trip to the ER with Will. Everything was fine but the story is worth sharing...
I am home sick with what i find out to be later strep throat. This morning the kids are playing with money, counting and being completely competent of holding their own coins. They come into the kitchen after playing and eat a snack. After snack we return to the living room where I come across Will with coins in his mouth. After delivering one back blow, two coins fall from his mouth. He then proceeds to make a "kkkkkkkkk" sound and grab his tongue.
Instantly I continue with back blows to see if the one I think he swallowed will come out-nothing but "kkkkkkkk". So I call his primary care doctor to see if they will see him or if I need to go to the ER. ER it is because it could get stuck in is airway. This news made me concerned and felt the need to get out the house fast, so I load up Reese and Will into the car, where Will continues to make the 'kkkkk' sound. (Side note, I was home sick, so I have those clothes on that you never intended to see ANYONE in and my kids are in diapers and underwear-thankfully we have the dirty clothes from the day before in the back seat that did just fine.)
My dad met me at the ER entrance to grab Reese. Will and I enter the ER, where the kind person who checked us in told me that she followed her kid around for a week after he swallowed a coin. We get into our room and Will wants nothing to do with this, he wants to be with Reese and Grandpa. Doctor comes in and says we need X-rays to see where the coin is. After entertaining Will for some time in the room and back again after x-rays, the doctor returns to tell me that they did NOT see the coin, either he did not swallow it or it is in the GI system already passing! Yea! But it made me think, why was Will grabbing at his throat after he spit out the two coins-and then it hit me-HE HAD DOG HAIR STUCK TO THE BACK OF HIS THROAT FROM THE COINS!!!! So the trip to the ER to confirm he was suffering from a hairball, $200. Defirminator brush for the dog, $60. Will's safety, priceless.
