Can't Catch A Break

Why is the saying "when it rains it pours," so true?  Poor Eliza has had an eventful week. It started last Sunday with an quick trip down the stairs.  The good thing is Chris caught her.  The bad thing is she was at the top and he was on the bottom so she fell all the way down before Chris could get her.  Poor guy said that that was the worse thing he had ever seen. She was fine, just a little scared of course.

 The next day she woke up looking like this.  You know it's a bad eye infection when the Dr. is grossed out.  We got her on eye drops and she has been very cooperative with them.  She holds very still when I put them in. 

 On Wednesday we went to a friends house and she was playing with the wooden child's kitchen.  I looked over in time to see her pull it on top of herself.  As it came down the microwave door opened and got her right in the face.  She had a bloody nose, swollen lip and a good bruise on her cheek and forehead.  Fortunately, my friend is a RN so she sprang into action and checked Eliza all over. 

About 24 hours later the baby sitter was here and I was getting my hair done.  When I came back the baby sitter informed me that as Eliza was coming down the slide her foot caught and she was launched forward landing on her face.  Not only did it take a chunk of skin out on her nose but she landed on the goose egg she still had from the day before. 

Through all this she has still been smiling and very happy. 

FunShine

Last October, a few moms from church and I started a Co-op pre-school.  It's called FunShine and it is fantastic. For nine months worth of pre-school I paid what most people pay in one month to send their kids to pre-school.  It follows a typical pre-school curriculum so each month the kids learn a new number, letter, color and shape. Each month we get a new box full of activities and crafts.  The part that still blows my mind are the crafts.  Each craft comes with everything you need except crayons and glue.  They even send things like paper plates.  We have been rotating weeks and it's fun to teach and it's also fun to drop Cordon off for a couple hours. 

 One day we talked about real and imaginary.  We read little Red Riding Hood then made little baskets filled with goodies.  It's so simple but the kids love it and it gets the point across. 

Cordon came home from school today with a plate of green eggs and ham and a wocket in a pocket.  I think it's safe to say he talked about Dr. Seuss today.
