This week at the Fords: I was under house arrest this past week. Luckily for Jessika I had the privilege of watching a neighbor's daughter for most of the week. By Friday I was feeling quite stir crazy. Monika's illness was quite serious and took all week before she started acting a little spunky again. Monika is in general a wonderful baby, somewhat passive and but lately we are seeing a more devious side to her. She has begun to learn how to tease her sisters. I can see already that she has the makings of becoming quite a trickster. Among her talents already are pulling Erika's hair while
she watches TV and stealing Jessika's crayons and trying to hide (this is particularly cute because Monika hides by butting her head against a wall or piece of furniture and tucks in her face). I can see the sly grin on her face as she does these amazing feats of mischief!
Annoyance of the Week; I can say that staying home all week was really annoying, but I would lying. It was a bit bother some at worst. Consider a week of waking up several times throughout the night with a baby who is coughing in pain BUT sleeps a lot of the day away; watching endless videos of Winnie the Pooh BUT being able to do other stuff around the house as long as it is on; forcing medicine on a child three times a day BUT seeing how every day that child is feeling a little better. It is not too bad really.
Words of the Week; "What happened? " When you listen to your children speak, you pick on things you say a lot and therefore they repeat even more. I found out this week that I must ask Jessika "what happened" too much for her taste. She has begun to ask me in annoying frequency.
