Rob has been up in SLC the last couple of days for a training and boy oh boy have I had my fun at home with the kids. Yesterday at about 2pm I get a call from Kennedy. She says she has thrown up and needs to come home. We get home and I told her I had a feeling that she was not being honest. She couldn't believe that I could tell (now I know how my parents always knew everything, parental instinct I guess). Anyway, she fessed up saying that she didn't throw up, she was hungry. Today, we went to school and she (with a lot of my help) apoloqized to her teacher for lying. I've found through this experience that it is quite stressful being a parent, teaching children. I hope I did what was needed to teach her so that she will make a better decision next time.
So now for Conner's episode...I was on the phone today with a friend and Kennedy comes running telling me that Conner had just swallowed a dime!! I frantically hung up and tried to help him get it out. He was gagging pretty bad, but luckily he could still breath. We never got it out, so I called the Dr and they said to take him to the ER. By this time he was not gagging any more and he was happily playing with Kennedy. So I got my "mommy bible" out (AAP Caring for Your Baby and Young Child) and looked on the internet and both said swallowing a dime is not a big deal, to just watch for it to pass in the next 48 hours. So now you know what I'll be doing...gross.
I love my kids to death and I am forever grateful for the joy and excitement they bring into my life. Yesterday I read the first article in the December ensign by President Gordon B. Hinckley. It's wonderful and I would suggest that anyone take the time to read it. My kids are my jewels.

This email was so touching to me for some reason. You are a good mom and I am glad you shared your "fun" days with your time alone with the kids. It is hard sometimes being a mom and knowing what to do- but I think you are wonderful and did exactly what I would have too! Love ya
Thanks for doing such great posts. They are always fun to read. I just wanted to add that we are the exact same way with soundtracks. August Rush totally blew me away. What are some of your other faves?
HMM...I could go on forever with my favorite soundtracks because I just have too many. Pride and Prejudice, Notting Hill, City of Angels, Practical Magic, Message in a Bottle, Bed of Roses. How fun to have that in common!! I love this blogging stuff, it really helps you get to know people better.
Lindsey, I'm so sorry for your stresses! Hopefully things will work out with Connor--maybe he'll have a lucky diaper! That's kind of funny but sad about Kennedy, but it sounds like you did the right thing, especially having her apologize--good for you!
