Sorry it's been so long

This last round of chemo was not nearly as bad as the previous one. Now I am really dealing with daily fatigue and general physical weakness. This as you can imagine is not easy with a 19 month old.

Speaking of that little ball of toddler energy I am really enjoying
this age.


She is always, and I mean always on the move, unless she is sleeping. In general she is a happy pretty easy to please little girl. Her language has continued to explode. She is stringing words together into phrases like crazy. Her new favorite word is "mine." A couple of weeks ago her closest toddler girl friend came over one morning to play and she spent the first 30 minutes trying to figure out how to gather and hold all of her toys so said friend could not play with any of them. It was really funny and it is really hard trying to explain sharing to a kid her age, but we are working on it.

She recently got her first bike and her very own potty. She walks around says bicycle over and over again. I assure you there will be pictures in the very near future. She and Marnie watched the Tour de France last weekend and she kept pointing at the tv and yelling "bicycle, bicycle, bicycle." Some times she even says it in her sleep. She also goes to the back door and looks out into the yard and tells it goodnight then she pats her head and says "helmet." She is needless to say obsessed.

As for the potty she likes to sit on it and hold the toilet paper in her hand like she is going to wipe. She has been showing real interest in the potty for quite a while and we decided it was time to get her her very own and see what happens. She's is definitely interested but I think it will be a while before we make any real progress toward no diapers.

I am so honored to get to watch this little being I helped create grow up. I will say it again it is the best work of my life.
