Elizabeth says (vol. 1)

-



Elizabeth, at 2 years 5 months, is such a hilarious little soul. here are some of her latest quips!


While looking at emojis: "Oh, it's a smiley! Look at him!"


When standing at the top of the steps, asking to be picked up: "Mama carry you? Mama carry you?"


a rare occurrence of drawing with her left hand. still hoping for a lefthanded kiddo like myself (and two of my siblings and my aunt!).


In the ultimate Catholic toddler mash-up: "Itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout. Out came the sun and the Father and the Holy Spirit AMEN!"


She likes to eat "apple jackets" (Apple Jacks) and play with "weeps" (baby wipes). And she loves baby "Bicky" (Victoria) and watching "scoots" (squirrels) out the window!


she insists on wearing these Christmas jammies even when it's 80 degrees out


She asks to use the potty a few times a day and is usually successful. After we empty the bowl from her potty seat into the toilet, she'll flush and wave to the departing contents while exclaiming, "Bye-bye, poot! Bye-bye, poot!" 


(Playing with a felt alphabet set) 

Me: "That's a letter /u/!"

E: "Yeah, that's a letter me!"


"I'm getting a baf!"

it feels a bit preposterous to sit down and type out a list of woes on my personal laptop, in my own heated house, while my four healthy children nap or play (respectively) and I sip on a San Pellegrino flavored water from a case that a neighbor on our Buy Nothing group just gifted us. and yet. and yet! there has been quite a bit of woe in the last several weeks and I want to complain about it, so I shall.  at the top of the list: car woes. not one, but two of Nick's cars were hit by other drivers within the past month. fortunately he was not injured, but working on his cars is essentially therapy for him -- so he lost not just two vehicles in his fleet, but also the time that was required to deal with insurance and police reports, and the emotional benefit of his favourite hobby.  this car was rear-ended while parked. Nick wasn't actually in the car, but saw it happen -- the driver of the SUV in the photo below was driving full speed in the right hand lane and didn't reali

dear Victoria, sometimes I scoop you up and can't stop myself from squishing your little body right into my chest, and nuzzling my face into your neck until you squeal with giggles. you are just so darn cute! you can spend up to an hour scooting around the family room playing with various toys -- recently you've started to be interested in baby dolls and the Fisher Price doll house. you mostly army crawl, but sometimes you pull yourself forward when you're sitting, too, and a few times you've been able to launch forward an inch or so from a bona fide crawling position. you can stand supported for a little while, but you're not close to pulling up by yourself yet.  we had another wonderful report from the orthopedic surgeon this month. both hips remain in place. your left hip has what they call a "delayed ossification center", meaning that it's still primarily cartilage since the hip socket didn't form properly to begin with, but the doctor said tha

what's good for the goose {my first foray into therapy}

sitting outside the new independent coffee shop that opened in the neighborhood this summer as a physician assistant with an undergraduate minor in psychology, I've always been fascinated by the connection between the mind and the body. that interest serves me well in my chosen specialty of primary care/internal medicine, as mental health comes to bear so frequently on physical, or somatic, complaints like fatigue, upset stomach, and dizziness. in any given day, I'll typically have one or two appointments that are scheduled specifically so someone can address their anxiety or depression, and it often comes up as a subject of conversation during routine physicals. I have probably recommended therapy to my patients literally thousands of times, whether it's to deal with an isolated situational stress or grief, or more pervasive issues like OCD, chronic insomnia, bipolar disorder, depression, or borderline personality disorder. when we're discussing starting antidepressant
