Been without the internet for a few days, feel the loss so much more now that I'm used to it! So what's new? The dog, Buck, is gone!!!!!! Gone for good!! Good riddens, not a moment too soon!
Leah likes her new potty (the seat on the "big potty" aka toilet) alot and wants a book when she's on it (because that's how daddy does it, most likely)

She likes to play in her closet and I feel I have to explain this before people think I am a monster...most of her toys are in there cause we haven't had a chance to go to IKEA (love it!) to get the shelf she needs yet. So no, I do not lock her up in the closet!
Still sick, but getting much better. Gonna try to start painting the bedroom tomorrow so we can move in there at christmas time.

Sarsar

Sarsar- That is Farfar according to Leah. She insists on saying F's like S's and P's like T's so Napp (dummy) is Natt but then changed it to Matt cause apparently N is now M and so on. I can sitt forever enunciating Nnnnnnnaaaaapppppppp and she responds MMMMMMaaaaattt! There- I said it! I give up! I know she'll learn the proper way soon enough but it's just so funny.
New words she's learned are- turn around, chips, other side, andra sidan, carkeys, ledsen (sad), pappa komma, sang (bed), boots, shoes, sko. It's a crazy mixture which leads to confusion many times and if you don't get it right away it's like you can see how frustrated she gets trying to explain it to you with fingers pointing and fingers being pulled in the direction the thing is 'til we finally understand what it is.

Got my new glasses today and they are nice- I'm happy with them! They are quite similar in style but the first ones are brown and bronze and the others are purple.

fail tests

So today I went to the eye doctor and got my eyes examined. I always feel like I'm about to take a test and feel like I have to perform my best and get so distraught when I cannot tell the difference between number 6 or 7, oh...which is better?! Can I see number 6 again please? arrrgh! Anyway, got a pair of lenses popped in and a feel like crying when I can't read the tiniest tinsywinsy text in the store but I asked the doctor and she said with enormous patience that it is ok, you're no supposed to be able to read that text from this far away. Oh...Are you sure?! Ok.
Moving on, got two pairs of glasses for the price of one, which isn't cheap but I'm happy. I got a few days worth of lenses but I'm not sure I like'em. I'll give it a few days but I think I'm just a geeky glasogonorm (fore eyes). Uppload pics of the new glasses when I get a chance this week!

Pizza night

Wednesday is pizza night at the Ciumeis household and we're always invited and it is always a feast!!! I got little pigtails on Leah and they lasted almost all evening save for a few times of pulling them off, but she was quick to ask me to put them back on.
Been having migraines lately and it's horrible and I get snappy with Michael and Leah and cry more often. In the car today I cried because it never seems to go away (just got my pills from the doctor) and I was crying when I heard a little voice saying "pappa dum" and a bunch of incoherent mumbling followed by "mamma ledsen". I think she thinks that we're arguing or whatever so she goes around saying "pappa dum" all the time which is really annoying, but then again she says that her cup is "dum" too...
