Yesterday she was complaining of a stomach ache and I told her that I would get her some medicine for her tummy, and also, maybe some yogurt for her tummy since she hadn't eaten much. She replied, "Mommy just get medicine for my tummy. Yogurt is for my mouth."

More, more! I want more Audrey Stories! They're, like, orange. Wow, man...

My Big Orange Splot comment was to a previous post- I don't know why it just popped up again here!!
Mija, I would give anything to be there with you, sing lullabies and read stories (even Big Orange Splot) to you BOTH, and keep watch over you at the hospital so you could get more sleep. Please know I am there in spirit and I think about you all day long.
