My grandfather definitely has lung cancer. The tumor is about 3cm, and they did a PET scan yesterday morning to see if there was any anywhere else in his body. We hope to hear the results tomorrow.
In other news, Branwen has started eating applesauce in the morning, so she’s only nursing three times a day now with occasional night nursings. (Hallelujah!) I’ve also started her on a sippy cup, though I have to hold it for her yet. She hasn’t figured out how to tip it and suck on it at the same time. She gets really mad whenever she tries. 🙂 She’s managing to get herself into a sitting position now, too, so I don’t have to keep sitting her up. She’s also pulling up onto her knees, so we’re having to babyproof a bit more. She managed to get herself three quarters of the way onto the landing at the bottom of the steps today before I caught her and relocated her. 🙂 We’ll have to put gates up post haste.
So, my question for the day… Is it unethical to eat your 2 year old’s Easter candy if she, by every indication, has forgotten about it? I mean, we let her eat the stuff that we gave her (consisting of precisely five mini chocolate eggs which she ate on five separate days), but she also got candy in Sunday School and at an aunt’s house. She’s eaten some of it, but we dole it out slowly and she really doesn’t seem to remember it at this point. Some of it she’s not getting anyway because it’s not really the types of candy she can manage (some of the hard, flat-style lollypops, for instance), but other things she could manage if I gave them to her. I just don’t feel like having them sit on my fridge forever. And no, I would not consider giving her more at a time. She’s got enough energy as it is. I don’t think I could do “Mousercise” more than once a day. 😛
Maybe I shouldn’t eat her chocolate or I may have to Mousercise more. 😛
