Sometimes technology isn't your friend

C: "Set a timer for 50 minutes."

Siri: "Ok. 15 minutes and counting."

C: No! That is wrong. 

S: If you say so.

C: Stop the timer. 

S: The timer is paused

C: Set a timer for five zero minutes. 

S: 50 minutes and counting

C: (relieved) Thank you 

You're 7!

And you're such an awesome kid. You open doors for me (cars and buildings). You give the best hugs and kisses. You cuddle. You are funny!

We went to the doctor today. You're 49" tall and 58.6lbs. 68th and 79th percentile a respectively. They declared you perfect. We asked about your nose bleeds. She said to use saline, but you hate that so we will stick with staying hydrated. She didn't see anything in your nose that was troubling. 

One of the best things about our doctor is her garden. In the summer she grows things to encourage kids to pick and try them. You chose eggplant today. One for each kid at home. I can't wait to cook them.

C: Mom! Nevin keeps pooping and making the hole house stink. Make him stop.

M: Make him stop...pooping? Seriously?

C: Uh. Well, could you at least change his diaper?
