Boo !

Today is my daughters 22nd birthday.It's made me nostalgic all day long.THIS is the child,honest to God,that put me on a first name basis with the poison control center,I'm not kidding.Smart,and faster than a weasel.One tale to demonstrate this...Stevie was 6,she was 3.Stevie had a chest cold,Boo did Not.We dosed Stevie.Put the medicine back on the TOP shelf of the TOP cabinet in the kitchen, and used the child lock on it.I escorted Stevie to the livingroom beanbag,and Steve stayed right in the kitchen.I turned around,and there was Boo...STANDING on the counter,childproof lock defeated,childproof CAP on the medicine bottle defeated,yelling "Hey Ma,I took care of myself"with a big rim of red around her mouth.She got to know the taste of syrup of ipecac very well,this child :o) I never use her real name [the day we brought her home from the hospital,my Mom took one look at her and called her Boo,and that was that],and since I dont think reading my blog is very high on the list of fun things to do for the kids,I will show you these.From my newborn baby still in the hospital:

To this past fall,helping out in the yard :o) Ifyou are supposed to blog about people and things you care about ,then you'll be seeing a lot of my crew in here.This is my Boo,and I couldn't Love her more,or be more proud of her.Happy Birthday Sweetheart :o)
