1) My boy got a smiley-face on his behavior chart today at school! (Last week he was in time out several times for hitting.) His teacher said he did "excellent." I stopped by to peek in on him and they were in music class....all holding little jingle bell instruments & marching around the room to "Father Abraham." Adorable! We want another one so bad we could taste it but the time isn't quite right.
2) Conversation between me and a patient of mine Saturday night. This lady is a member of a country whose women are known for coming to the US just to have their babies here.
Patient: Are you going to give me a diaper bag before I leave?
Me: Yes.
Her: What else are you going to give me?
Me: That's about it.
Her: What about a car seat?
Me: You're responsible for that.
Her: But I do not have one. I need one. I want you to give me a carseat before I go home.
Ok people, the hospital social worker is not your mama. If you can make it to the US from another continent, you can afford a carseat. And how long have you known you were pregnant?? (Meanwhile just down the hall there's a little Hispanic family in which the father works 6 days a week to provide, and he wouldn't dream of asking for a handout.)
3) Last night I tried my hand at making one of our favorite Mexican dishes called sopes or picadas. We had previously bought them at a restaurant but it was far away & the customer service was crappy. So we tried it out. They came out pretty well, although I will do a few things differently next time.
4) Congratulations to Miles and Brooklynne Travis, who welcomed Halleigh Jane into the world this past Sunday at 2:51am. She is an awfully pretty little girl!
