Rosalie is getting lessons on the droid from her daddy.

The Class of 2028

Here is a picture of Rosalie's class from 'school.' All of them were born between November 2009 and February 2010, so they are very close in age and development (Rosalie is the most advanced, of course). They love to read books, dance, and bite. I think this photo was taken right before nap time.

Rosalie the Vampire

A parent's worst nightmare - Rosalie bit two kids at daycare today. Now we have to figure out how to handle it - do we worry that she's a biter? Do we ignore it and pass it off as a one (two) time thing? We're told she didn't respond positively to discipline, she just smiled.

Later, one of the toddlers she bit (all involved remain anonymous) was playing with a ball; Rosalie wanted to "share" and tried to take the ball away. The toddler had it's revenge when it sank it's teeth into Rosalie's arm. We know it was a baby with eight teeth since you can count each one in the mark left behind on Rosalie's left arm.

Success!

The Dr. says there was a lot of fluid, the consistency of Elmer's glue.

ARRRRR you ready for surgery?

Rosalie is undergoing surgery this morning - ear tubes. After she gets put under, the doctor will cut a hole in her ear drum and nsert a tube; fluid will be able to drain from the ear canal rather than get stuck and cause an infection.

Mary and I are waiting for the 5-8 minute procedure and the 10 minute recovery to be over.

In honor of our friend Joe Seeley who has had chemo and a stem cell transplant to beat his leukemia and has been known to wear a pirate's hat, Rosalie is seen here wearing a pirate shirt.
