Poor poor Bodhi

The stitches

He has been singing, "Batman, batman, batman!" all day.

Toilet tank lid went smash....his left toe went slash. Three stitches.

Knock, knock

Who's there?
Bodhi
Bodhi who?
Bodhi eat *incoherent mumbles followed by giggling*

Bodhi and Mina are into knock knock jokes. That one was Bodhi's. Desmina's jokes are hit or miss.

Knock,knock
Who's there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock knock
Who's there
Banana who?
Knock, know
Who's there?
Banana
Banana who?
Can I have a banana?

Desmina also loves cow jokes, thanks to her friend Eddie. Share your favorite cow joke with her. Hers is
Where do cows go on a date?
To the MOOOOvies.
She will also come up with the first half of the joke and expect people to finish it. So Desi wants to know, "Where do cows like to eat?"

A Mina funny

(and factoid)
Did you know that breastmilk can cure diaper rash? Yes, it's true. I have been using this remedy since M wss a baby.


Anyway poor B has a wicked diaper rash. Not sure if it's yeast or not. We tried diaper cream. That made it worst. So I resorted to the Mama's remedy. I also used a water/lavender oil solution to help kill the yeast if that's the case.

M says, "Mom I can spit on him. Maybe that will help."

Sunday Purge

This week I am working on getting the house back in order. Since I started working outside the home I found it hard to be a housekeeper, a mom and a direct care staff all at once. Something had to give. Guess which I chose?

I worked on their learning room. I only got rid of a set of trains, cloth blocks, a few cards, and one destroyed car ramp. But I figure if I get rid of a few objects from each room we'll have less junk. My name is Cynthia and I'm a pack rat. I'm a collector of junk. I'm sentimental and have a hard time getting rid of tokens of memories. These tokens end up piled and taking up space. I'm trying to change this.
Today was the learning room. Tomorrow will be my closet and maybe our bedroom.
