Learning

Proud mama moment here! For the last few weeks I've been trying to teach Gaetano how to properly ask for things. He repeats each word after me and the sentence is always, "Can I have some (more)______ please mama?". As the weeks have past he's said: "Can I have" , "Can I set go!" (we play a game of ready? set? go! and somehow he decided that is how he should ask me to play with him I guess), "Can I have some please mama" (but he doesn't tell me what he wants so I have no idea...). Well tonight he got it right! Gaetano asked, "Can I have some water please mama?". I'm so proud! :-)

Uncle's status

Spoke to my Aunt and found out that my uncle is having surgery next Tuesday as long as his diabetes is stable. The prognosis looks good according to the doctors. The tumour is near the part of the brain that controls memory, which may explain his recent memory problems. If anything is at risk it would be his memory, which I'm told is better than losing your vision, speech or mobility. I'll be praying for him. Thanks to those of you who have shown your concern. I'll keep you posted.

Dancing...

A friend of mine just emailed to tell me something and I just gotta share it because I find it rather interesting. My friend, we'll just call her Lisa to protect her true identity, is about to become a dancer...ummm, some would call it a stripper. Well, this is what I find rather interesting; to be a stripper you must have a license to be a one. Some cities require it, some don't. So the city she happens to be gaining new employment in does require it and to obtain the license you have to be interviewed at the local police station. She is going on Thursday I believe and if anything interesting comes of it I'll let you know. Who'd of thought you'd need a license to take your clothes off on stage; go figure! Sorry guys, no pictures of her yet.

Little ouch...

So, yesterday I was taking a nap and the telephone rang. It startled me, I jumped up and then I hear POP and my right leg hurt on the inner area of the knee. I have a pretty high threshold for pain; labor was easy. This was about 3pm and by about 10pm I finally noticed the leg starting to hurt. I didn't notice that it hurt this morning, I got up and hurried down the hall to work. It wasn't until I stood up to go wake up my sleepy-head husband a few minutes ago that I noticed a slight pop and more pain. I limped to the bedroom. I am in my pajamas (the perks of working at home) and I lifted the pajama pants to see if I was bruised. To my amazement, my right leg is about twice the size of my left leg! Now that I have seen that, it is starting to hurt. I bet if I didn't look, I wouldn't feel a thing, darnit. No, I am not going to the doctors!
