Are Left-Handed People in their Right Mind? ;-)
Today was rather eclectic. We started out by braving the cold to make it to our early morning WIC appointment. Both girls had to have their fingers pricked to check their iron. Brandie howled like she'd been shot, and Haleigh just looked at her finger and said, "BooBoo?". Their iron levels were exactly the same--and both were low. We've come to the conclusion that it's just in their genes, because they both have good diets.
Brandie and I made more granola this afternoon. We put away laundry, picked up toys, read books, played with a tube that the speech therapist left, and lounged around.
We were playing with the Magna-Doodle when I had the bright idea to try to get Brandie to write by using the toy. It didn't work. She just isn't interested in writing yet. She seems to get frustrated easily. Part of the problem may be that she's left-handed. When I try to show her something she tries to copy me by using her right hand. I may have to learn how to write left-handed. We'll keep plugging along. Maybe we'll both end up being ambidextrous by the time it's over.
