it's a goal of mine to get caught up on blogging this weekend.

something amusing - z had been in bed for all of 2 minutes, and started calling for me. he said, "mommy - i had a nightmare!" there is no way he could've had one - he never fell asleep. he asked me in the car early this week what a nightmare was. i don't think he still quite understands it.

he's coughing a lot less, and has been back to his normal energy level for quite some time. s is still sick, but i think her nose was finally dripping less, and she was coughing less today. last night i tried giving her benadryl and running two humidifiers in her room, and she slept all the way until 6:40! best night of sleep i've had in a long time. i started feeling sick two days ago - the worst head ache, sore throat, stuffed up runny nose & sneezing. i took benadryl last night, too, and am taking it again tonight. i'm hoping for another good night. i decided not to nurse s anymore at the 5:30/6:30am time, so i'm bracing myself for some early awakenings. ugh.

in order to begin suzuki teacher training, you have to submit a video of your playing. i did some training for books 1-5 at c.i.m. in my last year of undergrad, but never registered it. i believe it's too late to register, so i plan to just do it over again with different teachers. i'm going to seattle for a day long workshop in may, and in june, i hope to do book 1 at the oregon suzuki institute. i made a video last friday, after practicing mozart's 5th concerto for a week, submitted it sunday, and it was accepted! yay for me!
s always goes to the same place in our house when she has to poop - right next to the kitchen table & the windows - so now when she goes over there, i put her on the potty, and she sometimes poops in the potty! yay! exciting, in a sort of messed up way that only parents understand. sometimes, however, she just holds it, and waits until i've put on a new diaper, and then she goes. sigh.

s was doing a great job of saying "hello" today, with z's prompting. she was also pointing to various body parts when quizzed. she likes doing it - she thinks it is funny. this morning the abuelos visited and brought valentines gifts, and of course we had swimming. z was brave, and i had fun swimming with s. we went for a walk through the secret passage way after lunch, and then it was naptime & teaching for me. time for bed!

Hooray for pooping on the potty!
