This is my first time blogging ever. I've fought it for a long time, but now I have a story to share. Last weekend, Brian and I got food poisioning. It was HORRIBLE. We were sick ALL night long. The next day we took turns taking care of Austin and it was challenging to say the least. We were still very weak and nauseous. Of course Austin would not take a nap...all day long. But the thing that I remember most about that day is not that it was one of the worst days of my life, but one little thing that Austin did.
Austin has recently been signing "more" for things other than food; this is new. He'll use it when he wants his book read to him again, etc. He also has started signing "more" and "please" together, which pleases me as well.
That morning, he noticed a squirrel in our backyard. He laughed and squealed as he watched it run around our yard. When it ran out of his sight he quickly turned to me and signed, "More please." I had to laugh out loud and explain to him that I had no control over the squirrel.
I loved this moment and revel the fact that, overall, this moment was more powerful than a baterium of salonella.

Squirrels scare me like birds...
