I can never remember what I want to blog about when I sit down at my computer. Does anyone else have this problem? I am sure that I have lots to say, but I never get around to it because I can't remember any of it.

The biggest news that I forgot to blog about is Evelyn's thumb sucking. She has quit cold turkey, pretty much all by herself. At her 3 year checkup in April, her pediatrician talked her out of sucking her thumb when she was not in her crib, but she still sucked her thumb at night and at naptime. I would even catch her doing it sometimes when she was watching tv, but she stuck to Dr. Anne's recommendation pretty closely. But, one night about a month ago, she noticed that her thumb had shrivelly skin on it from her thumb sucking (like when your hands have been in water for too long). She asked me what it was, and I told her it was from her thumb sucking. She said it was scratchy, asked me to wipe it off, and said she did not want to suck her thumb any more. Amazingly, she totally quit at that point. I think this is a remarkable accomplishment for a 3 year old.

The next biggest thing that I forgot to blog about was a conversation that Evelyn and I had about buttholes. She wanted to know if I had a butthole, if Gabe had one, and if Daddy had one. I kept telling her to stop saying butthole, but I was also laughing so hard that it probably egged her on a bit. When Joe got home that night, the first thing Evelyn said was "Daddy, we talked about buttholes today". I was so proud.

That is about all I have forgotten....that I can remember.
