A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Coughing...

So my little J is sick. He got a cough the day after the crop duster was out - I know just a coincidence, I'm sure he got it from a grocery cart or something wierd... but, it is getting worse.

He is just so congested. You know the congested that stays even when you cough it out. I gave him some delsum and a hot steamy bath before bed thinking it would help him sleep. And of course his nightly pear and apple - the boy refuses to go to sleep without eating a pear or an apple, sometimes both, in bed before he goes to sleep.

Not 15 mins after getting him to bed, this horendous hacking - nonstop - scary and then the throwing up from coughing so hard. My poor baby, back into the bath tub. And now I have no idea how much of the meds he threw back up so we went with some herbal tea drowned in a ton of honey. So far it is working... but I think I see a Dr's visit in my future tomorrow.
