VOTE!

cake baker and I have been discussing the importance of voting with our imaginary children and our real dog, JD, all week. While it was nearly impossible to get Sophie to drop the razor blade and leave her room; she finally relented when cake baker whipped up some lovely peanut butter brownies! 

Kristof is wildly interested in the election process! His teacher reports that his Sarah Palin impressions are spot on and fabulous entertainment for those times when she doesn't feel like teaching. We are so proud of Kristof and his second grade achievements!

Sophie is now on her 3rd psychiatrist. This new guy has her on a colorful (literally) assortment of medications and told us to tell her that they are "candy coated" so she will swallow them. I think she is on something like Ability or Abilify,  Xanax, Ativan, Sonata, Lunar - something or other, Prozac, Cymbalta, and Thalidomide. I think that's it; but who knows??? I read somewhere on the interweb that many teen age girls cut themselves. Granted, she is only 9 - but she has always met important milestones very early. Smart kid, our Sophie!

Time to take JD out and wake Kristof up so he can do his paper route! We are blessed to have such lovely hardworking imaginary children and a real dog!

Oh! Kristof, we discovered, needs to have his forehead lowered. Apparently his forehead is abnormally high. We may wait until after he and Sophie are done with their head to mouth gear - but who knows? At this point, we could use the kid's forehead as a bulletin board! 

TTFN!
