8: Number of times Pip used a nebulizer from Friday to this evening. He was hysterically scared of it the first time at the pedi's office and needed to be held down forcefully. Now he's a pro -- happily holding it "BY MYSELF"! See pics below.
55: Number of various boo-boo's Pip withstood. One particularly bad one was handed out by Abby, our neighbor, whose bike got a little out of control and whose brakes at the handlebars knocked Pip for a loop. This boo-boo was severe enough to require a frozen pop for Pip and a sympathy pop for his friend Brian.
note boo-boo between the eyebrows:
5: Number of steps Vivie can take now fully on her own. This one varies because she'll sometimes fall down early if she's not quite steady and at times maybe even has gotten more than five in a row. She's very proud of herself! We are so excited we haven't even gotten the camera out for a video because we can't take our eyes off her to grab it!
1024: Number of times Pip said "Vivie's harrassin' me!" when Vivie poked and prodded him. Vivie LOVES this response and proceeds to laugh and squeal with delight, poking and prodding him with an even bigger smile on her face. I've had to separate them several times.
14: Number of circles around the house Pip and Vivie crawled in a thrilling game of "catch me".
57: Number of times Vivie crawled under Phil and my legs in a solo game she likes to play called "leg tunneling".
1: Number of naps taken today, all summed, by all members of the Balas family. The single nap was Vivie's from 10am - 12:30pm ... a solid long nap, but it was to be the last.
2.5: Number of books I read to Pip tonight before he fell asleep on my lap. He was full out sleeping and scrunching down to get into a full horizontal position when I extricated myself from his bed. He, of course, woke up enough then to request two renditions of the unicorn song and one singing of Tambourine Man ("sing it nice and loud Mommy") before I left him to return to sleep.
1: Number of networks connected by Phil between our laptop downstairs and the desktop in the attic. Seriously .. this is exciting people!
0: Number of martini's Natalie had this weekend. This is only significant because Saturday was to be her long-planned and much anticipated Mom's Group Martini Night, which had to be scrapped due to many Mom's having various crises to attend to ... including Natalie's own persistent headaches (ugh) and Pip's coughing/wheezing. Luckily, 0 is also the number of headaches she's had today, so hopefully that's all passed.
