valentines day 2013

It's not been great.
 
Today we found out Ellie has Mollescum Contagiosum.
Which isn't serious.
It's just really hard to get rid of.
It's a virus that is wart like in appearance which is very contagious to your own person.
It's contageous to others too, but mostly to oneself.
 
Yay.
Treatment could last upwards of a year.
Yay.
 
I also had a cavity filled and found out Ellie has her first cavity.
 
Yay again.
 
Is it summer yet?
 
BUT!
 
Let's focus on the positive, shall we?
I get to wake up to this girl every day.
And I sneak coffee dates with this guy as often as possible.
 And he is always willing to cuddle up when I request it.
I am indeed a lucky girl.
Who cares about warts and cavaties??
 
In other news, Ellie has started gymnastics and is loving it.
It is a serious place.
The first 20 minutes is all conditioning.
Running.
Sit-ups.
Push-ups.
Squats.
Serious Business.
 I saw a teeny tiny little thing do a front flip arial thingy last Tuesday and about had a flipping heart attack.
She couldn't have been older than 5.
We will stick to cartwheels.
Thankyouverymuch.
