double dipper

Here's some fascinating video of Emilia dipping some pita crisps into her hummus. This is noteworthy because, generally speaking, she doesn't like to get her hands "dirty". In fact, it kind of freaks her out a bit. So I've been pushing her into Art classes (no luck there) and encouraging her to use markers (great - more laundry) and these special crayons that she can write with in the tub. I guess it's starting to work because she now LOVES to mark up her hands with marker (so much for marking the paper!) and now will dip her foods - hurrah!

In other news, she's been a bit under the weather and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Fortunately it doesn't look like she's got either RSV or reactive airway again thank goodness. She's on a better antibiotic right now than she was before that doesn't seem to be upsetting her tummy too much. However you know she's under the weather because she's sleeping at wierd times (like now - noon - no lunch, nothing - just sound asleep) but a little less crabby then she was when she was really sick.
