Random Cute Pictures!!!
Bailey opened the fridge and helped herself to a ladyfinger off the side of the delicious tiramisu my friend Katie made for my birthday!
Bailey and her Gammaw!
Bailey and her beloved hippo shoes.
In the rocking chair with two of her many Eeyores.
Bailey loves "yogurk"
Fish out of water! She loves Nemo.
Sportin' a sassy new hat!
Other cute things Bailey does:
When the dogs were wrestling on the couch the other night she stood in front of them and shook her finger at them saying "Stop it! Please!"
She also enjoys reading a book called "How I Became a Pirate" so to tell us that is the book she wants she crooks her finger (like a hook) and says "arrrgh, arrrgh"
When eating her snack she will hold out a goldfish and say "mama, eat it! bite!" and when you get close to take the bite she grins and pops it into her own mouth!
These days we hear a lot of "I do it! I get it! I take it!"
She's quite a character!

The "Plague" is Upon Us
I am standing witness to one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have ever witnessed. If you haven't heard (and I'm pretty sure most of you have) Bailey has come down with the flu. And I don't mean, "Bailey has the sniffles and since everyone else has the flu, then this must be the flu too." Being a teacher I hear this all the time (usually followed by the student returning the next day proclaiming "I'm cured!).
Friday night before we put the Squidget to bed, Tam and I noticed that Bailey was running a low grade fever. By 11 o'clock however, it was no longer a low grade anything and Tammie and I started thinking the worst...flu.
A long night ensued and a trip to the doctor's office in the morning confirmed our fears. Normally the flu test takes 15 minutes to produce a result...Bailey's took less than five!
Type A was the result which means there is a 75% chance that it is the H1N1 strain (which also means that there is nearly a 100% chance that Tammie and I will also come down with the flu...yeah). For all the hype and fear-mongering happening concerning this flu strain, it really is just the flu...no better or worse than your typical run-of-the-mill flu. But that still doesn't make watching Bailey suffer through it any easier.
For all of you who have sent their prayers and well wishes, thank you and please keep them coming. This is going to be a long week for the three of us, and maybe even a long couple of weeks (depending on whether Tam and I become "unclean").
We'll keep you posted.

Three Reasons I Know My Daughter is a Genius
1. The other day we were leaving Baskin Robbins after having ice cream with friends and we saw a horse trailer in the parking lot. Bailey has never seen a real horse so we watched it for a moment and then I said we should head home to tell Daddy about the horsey. So we drive home and chat about other things, sing to music, etc. We get home and Bailey goes right up to her Dad and says "Daddy, horsey! Horsey!" What a memory!
2. Same day I went into the kitchen to take out the trash. Bailey was watching the dogs out the sliding door and Brent was in the back. I yelled to Brent I was taking the trash outside. When I returned Bailey had pulled a new trash bag from the cabinet under the sink and was attempting to shake it out to put in the trash can. Such powers of observation!
And finally 3: Bailey is a big fan of the book "No, David" written and illustrated by David Shannon. Last night Bailey was going through the books on her shelf. She pulled one off that she has never read, "How I Became a Pirate." She looked at the cover and exclaimed "No David!" And sure enough, the book was illustrated by David Shannon! She recognized the style of the artist!
Like I said, genius...
