A few observations by Sydney

Let's hear it for spring! Maybe if we cheer loud enough, it will actually stick around.

Sydney explained yesterday's weather like this. "It's just a little chilly and windy. It's really spring. But there's still a little snow."

Two other cute Sydney stories...

To get Maggie to swallow her pain medication, we've been wrapping the pills in cheese, deli ham, or anything else we can think of to trick her into eating it. Sydney apparently has watched the process more closely than I'd realized. Our supper last night was a pasta dish with sausage, shrimp and diced deli ham mixed into the sauce. As she picked up a piece of ham with her fork, Sydney asked, "Why is Maggie's medicine in this?"

At bedtime, the kids sat in AJ's room, looking through his books. AJ had chosen Sharks and Sea Creatures and was trying to share some of his knowledge with his younger sister. Sydney, for the most part, was unimpressed. I walked in the room just in time to hear her question, "there's no pink sharks?"

"But look, Sydney," AJ did his best to find something that would grab her interest, "this one's called a cookie cutter shark."

Not good enough for Miss One-track mind. Sydney responded, "does it turn pink?"
