Quote of the Day

Rebekah is getting a lot of blog coverage lately, but she continues to shine on in her special way.

This evening, Daniel was reading some stories to the kids (I'm still not sure why he was so focused on that task) and asked Rebekah if she'd heard both stories.

She said yes. I said she probably heard them but might not have listened. He asked her if she listened. She had a bit of a blank look on her face and said yes again.

After Daniel left the room she asked, "Is listening the same as looking?"

NO WONDER we've been having communication issues! How have I missed teaching the poor girl to recognize her five senses?

UPDATE on Leah: Her right ear is flaming red and she is now on antibiotics. She slept all day and ran a low grade fever. (I WANTED to sleep all day, but did a bit of yardwork and a lot of Sarahwork instead.)

  1. You sure have your hands full with six kids who take turns getting sick. They will owe you big time when they're teenagers. You can use you blog to remind of the hardships you suffered nursing through their numerous illnesses.
