For Crying Out Loud, It Worked

You wouldn't know it by looking at this picture, but Veronica is doing much better now that she's drinking an ounce of apple juice now and then.

The new beverage seems to have jump-started her "plumbing" and the constipation she was experiencing seems to have gone away. We won't elaborate on the exact number of — and nature of — her bowel movements. Suffice it to say she's filling up her diapers quite nicely.

Tuesday night was "Burger King Night" for the girls' school. So we loaded up the van and headed off to scarf down burgers, fries and chicken nuggets. The one rule we have about "kids meals" is that you have to eat your meal before you get to play with the toy. And about the toy. I'm not sure who came up with grabbing-type plastic pole for this month's toy but it sure can be annoying when three or four girls are poking, prodding and groping you with one.

Wednesday is gymnastics for Julia. We'll see about getting some pictures posted of the next "Nadia" (or for those of you younger folk, "Mary Lou").
