Yesterday and today Claire talked the most ever! Yesterday at one set of grandparents' house, she held long, sustained exclamations about what, we'll never know. This morning in her high chair she did the same. Whenever she does this, I feel as though she's singing and the song "Sing a song of six pence, a pocket full of rye..." comes into my head so I sing it. Yes, random, but she seems to like to listen to the song!

I think I gave her too much food too fast today because she threw up again... She's almost six months. For awhile I thought the food was going okay, but then, she started gagging, usually well after mealtime, and then upchucked. We took a break from food for several days and she threw up anyway, but two days did pass recently without event, so I started food again last night. Today, all over the couch...Yuck! Poor girl, another break from food may be in store. I think, by her facial expressions during feedings, that she prefers veggies to fruits... Good girl!

I photocopied recommendation letters and my teaching license to get ready to send to the school districts (only 2). I'm debating whether or not I really want to sub this school year, but at least I can say no if I decide I absolutely will not, and if we want a few extra bucks, I can always say yes. I will probably tutor too, but not too much!!!

It's nice to have a day at home for a change. Claire's napping again, I baked cookies, a chicken's roasting in the oven... That doesn't happen everyday. Maybe I'll write my grandma a letter. I have one faithful hand-writing penpal, and it is refreshing to put pen to paper at times. Peace.  ¶ 3:18 PM
