lunch

Caroline and I went to lunch with some friends today. (We went to Taco Mac and it was amazing because they seriously have the best wings ever.) I brought lunch for Caroline and I cut it all up and put it in front of her so that I could basically ignore her and eat my lunch (which never happens but I still try to set things up "just right" in hopes Caroline will pleasantly surprise me with good behavior). I even brought all her favorites...raisins (gag), meat sticks (barf), cheese, and a bottle. After squaring Caroline away with her food (and the lemon out of my drink that she begged me for...in which she ate almost the whole thing including the rind), I settled in to enjoy my meal and converse with my friend. Throughout the entire dining experience Caroline tried several times to "Houdini" out of her highchair. (She finally succeeded toward the end of the meal and proceeded to climb on top of the table.) However, during the middle of the meal she had been content for a span of a few minutes and all of a sudden I thought "what is going on?", "Caroline is sure being good". I turned to look at her and noticed she had grabbed one of my wings, devoured the remaining chicken off the wing and was sucking ferociously on the bone. My wings were hot mind you and she was loving them! It was hysterical, she just smiled until i took it away which brought about a sound that I don't care it I ever hear again. After lunch, we headed over to Barnes and Noble to get some coffee to perk us up after our exhausting lunch. Caroline had fun hugging and kissing on her 5 month old friend. She loves to show affection and agression interchangably and you never know what is next. Thankfully her little friend Anna Claire enjoyed both the love and abuse and just smiled the whole time. It is really fun to make new friends who like you for you. Well, I gotta stop ignoring my family and go cook dinner for them....

The last few days

Unless you find injuries, sickness, and medical procedures humorous, nothing "noteworthingly" funny has happened the last few days:

1. Caroline and Bo got head injuries. Bo's bled, it made me nauseous.
2. Between the two of us, Caroline and I got 4 shots. Neither one of us cried. We're BIG girls!!
3. I had cavities 3, 4, and 5 filled. (All five have been filled in the past two weeks. I say "at least we met our dental deductible". Bo called me "rot teeth" for a few days)
4. I got a cold yesterday so I went to bed at 8:00! It was amazing. (I used to cry during those Lunesta commercials right after Caroline was born. *New Mama's...you will sleep again.)
