who smooshed the strawberries?





By all accounts it started out as a happy strawberry patch kinda day
- compliments of the local Early Intervention crew.
Smiles filled the rosy fields.
Nobody could guess the terribly *messy* turn of events looming moments away...





Big brothers happily helped little sisters.

Little sisters busily pick pick picked the succulent berries.

Families bonded & sampled the yummy summery fruit...





But wait





I wonder what the babies are up to?






pondered a big brother...









No worries...

the babies were just frolicking in the hay!



Or were they?









Hmmmmmm...
it appears it wasn't just the babies smooshing the strawberries
that happy strawberry pickin' day...






The big brothers & little sisters had guilty fingers too!





Legend has it...

that every year during that strawberry patch kinda time...

little lips & digits will be stained a smooshy stawberry red.

And now everybody knows who smooshed the strawberries!

The End

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
What a sweet story! You should think about writing children's books...seriously!!! It put a smile on my face and at 5:30am that is not easy to do...I am so not a morning person.

Bibi & Babu - Hmmmm...I'm not sure either would last the long trip there! Although pretty soon Toby'll be old enough to give it a go! He's actually off to his first summer camp...baseball camp!

Elaine - I am SO not a morning person either! Actually I'm more like late day to mid afternoon...everything else is cranky! :o) MY hubby said the same thing btw...I should try to publish it. The pics are what makes it cute tho! And it was really nice that EI sponsored the event!

I hope all is well for Sophie (and the other girls too:o) And you! I think about you often...and whisper prayers...

(((hugs)))

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
