Beeping Heart
The other day Esther was jumping on the mini trampoline in our house. Then she got off and came to sit on my lap. I could feel her heart beating fast so I tried to explain to her about heart beats and let her feel it too. WOOOOOOO... big mistake! More then anything it freaked her out. She couldn't get it out of her head that it was a bad thing to have her heart "beeping," even though I explained over and over that everybody's heart beats and that's how we stay alive and it keeps our bodies going. Still, she was scared, she even teared up at one point. Then Esther requested to call Daddy and tell him about the mysterious "beeping." One of her questions was, "What color is the heart beep?" Consequently, I've decided to put off all further talk of body functions and organs till an older safer age.

You are a trooper Kate! I'm so glad I haven't had to experience flying on a plane with my kids. I KNOW it would be a nightmare. It's a nightmare just going to the grocery store. Hope you a had a great week while you were here!
