Xander has a jar full of coins. He finds these coins in various locations, under a couch cushion and on sidewalks. His most successful location for coin scavenging is the laundry room. Each time he finds a coin he puts it in his jar. The majority of the coins are pennies and he is saving for a single event. He wants to treat his brother and sister to icecream. He has been saving for months now but due to the low appearance of random coins he still doesn't have enough. I'm thinking once it warms up he will suddenly find he has enough as there will be an anonymous donation to the Xander sibling icecream fund.
But the jar is what was the center of discussion at bed time and led to a random Xander sentence that I have yet to fully grasp. He was chatting with Jadzia and Landon and said "When I take you guys to icecream Landon will get to pick his icecream first then me and then Jadzia." Jadzia sounded disappointed at being last but Xander continued. "We are like a pyramid so that's the way it has to be." and at those words Jadzia was instantly ok with being last. I'm really wondering if I'm out of the loop on this pyramid thing. I may have to use it the next time one of the kids argues with me. "We're like a pyramid that's the way it has to be."
Ronan ended up staying in the hospital two hours longer than my blog yesterday indicated he would. His throat started swelling just as I signed his discharge papers. They gave him a strong steroid and then watched him for two hours. He was doing better after the two hours and got to go home. On our way out they gave us a t-shirt that said he's been honorably discharged from the Children's hospital.
Our house is old and we are having it lead tested as part of a program. If they find lead on your windows, siding or elsewhere they cover replacing whatever the lead is on. Part of the requirements are that children between the ages of 1 and 5 be tested before the house test. This meant Landon and Inara got to avoid being poked. We took the middle three down to the testing center today for their finger pokes. They are going to mail me the reports with how their levels are. Jadzia was excited because now both of her hands matched by having band-aides on them.
