Last night Chris and I took Mira to a class called "Sibling Silly." It was for her to learn what being a big sister might entail. It was an okay class, and Mira did learn a couple of things, like to wash her hands before touching the baby and to ask permission before holding the baby. They read some books and sang songs, saw a video. And they taught the kids how to gently hold the baby and swaddle them. She seemed to really enjoy it.
Last weekend, Mira gave us quite a scare. She was supposed to be taking a nap, and I'd heard her get out of her bed a few times. After awhile, I could hear Mira on the monitor saying, "Mom, my head hurts." It's not like her to get a headache, but she had been wearing a headband, so I went upstairs to check it out. What she had actually said was, "My hands hurt." When I got to her room, I saw that she had gotten her ponytail holder bowl from its drawer and had put about 10 ponytail holders on each wrist! Both of her hands were purple. Scared me so bad! I pulled them off quickly, so grateful that she had told me before it was too late. I also found another ponytail holder on her ankle. Needless to say, we moved the bowl up high. I never imagined she would do that since she's always had access to her ponytail holders. I'm just grateful she didn't fall asleep and not tell me or that I didn't ignore her when she called me. Something in her voice told me to go up and check it out.
Below are just a couple of recent photos, one from the park and one at a restaurant. Mira liked the daisies on the table.
Hope you are all well. Baby Cook is due in 2 weeks, 5 days. Here's to hoping for a little sooner!
Funny story: Today I was saying to Mira, "Mommy's ready to have a baby! When is the baby going to come out?"
Mira looked at me and said, "Soon, Sweetheart."
Too funny!
Love, Michelle

Mom, I was playing around to see if I could get a post with your account and it worked. I'm not sure the problem you were having. I used your yahoo.com email address (marthanorstad@yahoo.com) and your usual password. Worked just fine. Hope you and Kelly can figure out the problems.

I think I figured out the problem. or at least I did the same thing I did last time to fix it, maybe this time it will stick. I sure am glad mira's new nickname isn't stumpy.
