The run!

Well I made it through the NW Epilepsy Foundation 5k. Only I don't think it was a 5k it was more like 4. I can't wait to do it next year. It was a really awesome community of people and it made me feel really lucky that we had such a happy ending to our story.

Like dorks we forgot our camera, but Kris took a picture of me at home.


Thanks for all of your support!!

Now on to Cora. She is singing!! She mostly sings "Don't bite your friends" only it goes like this -- Don't Don't Don't bibpodbow blah. Thank you Yo Gabba Gabba. Her Mimi (my mom) taught her "Old MacDonald" which goes -- EOOIEEAIOO. And she points to various parts of her body during "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Her new favorite thing to do is "Tickle Tickle" anyone. She will drop what she is doing if you ask her to "tickle tickle __insert name here___". She thinks it is hilarious.

She is also now in her big girl room. Time is flying by.

Far too long

We have finally recovered from what can only be called the Mammoth Flu. Everyone was puking and sneezing and all other sorts of unpleasantness. Mother's Day was spent in Urgent Care (for me) and Same Day Services (for Cora). So.glad.it's.over.

I registered for the Epilepsy Foundation NW Run/Walk. If you are interested in joining me or are feeling donationy go here - Gretchen's Trying To Run A 5k Page. There are links to registering on the left. I thought about starting a team but, neh, maybe next year.

Cora is a talking fool. Her new favorites are: bubble, cracker, cookie, cock-a-doodle-do, ahh-ahh (monkey sound), and she says Teddy (Uncle Ted) really well. She loves to do the sign for bird. She does it all the time. She love all animals and is finally enjoying the zoo. She points at everything (not just the other kids) and says wow.

The weather has been great to us. Cora could play outside all day and I am happy to let her. Let's just hope this good weather lasts!

edited to change the link so it goes to the right page - duh!
