5 on Friday

1. I am still in love with blanket I mentioned in this post, http://karaandnick.blogspot.com/2011/05/5-on-friday.html. Lucky me, I received a SECOND one for Mother’s Day (different color)! Now I have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Or as Nick says, one for just me and one that Ellie and him can touch.
2. We saw the ENT on Monday for Eleanor’s ears. Sure enough he recommended tubes and said she had below normal hearing. We had tubes put in yesterday morning (we were at The Surgery Center bright and early at 5:30AM). Ellie was amazing, and is a champ at having drops put in her ears.
3. Nick and I celebrated our 3^rd wedding anniversary on Tuesday. 3 years… it doesn’t seem like it has been that long.
4. I forgot to mention last week that I chopped my hair. It was supposed to be cut just above the shoulder and ended up being chin length. It is a big change from the long hair I was used to. No pony tails for me.
5. I think Ellie thinks the upstairs TV only plays Elmo. She points to the TV and asks for Elmo. Yesterday she looked a little concerned when I turned on the TV and Elmo wasn’t there- he came on 10 minutes later. We mainly watch Elmo on that TV, so it makes sense. She looked super cute yesterday morning sitting in her chair, with her purple blanket on her (just like Mommy), her Elmo toy and Elmo book in her lap, watching Elmo. Of course I did not take a picture. Maybe next time.

And later… Friday the 13^th is a little extra special.
