Yo ADRIAN!

Yesterday, N discovered how to OPEN the doors.  Now, not only can he CLOSE them (with great relish and a loud SLAM!), but he can also open them.  This has prompted me to keep the outside door locked now, as he could potentially just open it and walk on out.

Today, I took A to see her dance class perform at the Officer's Club.  She was supposed to join them, but judging from the way she freezes up in her small 'in-class' performances, I decided she wasn't ready for it, and we just watched from the audience.  She really enjoyed herself, and seems excited to join next year's show.

S has had a swollen eye since Tuesday.  This morning, during breakfast, her left eye went from puffy to THIS!!

Our very own little "Rocky Balboa"

It's horrific to look at.  It even prompted little A to say (after looking at her cautiously for a bit, and getting really quiet) "Mom--YOU take her away and play with her...I don't like her when she looks like that."  I understood where she was coming from, b/c looking at THAT was what prompted me to take her for her SECOND emergency room visit of the day.

However, despite the way she looks, she has been playing happily and passing the day.  This morning (during our first E/R trip) she was a mess--but I think it had more to do with the timing (which was well past her nap time) than the experience.

Let's hope she is looking and FEELING better in the morning.  It has been a yucky day...and I look forward to a better one tomorrow.
