racecar driver and a canker

Brett found this helmet for Ethan. It has a speaker that comes out the top, and when he pushes buttons on his steering wheel it makes noises--screeching brakes, revving engine, a horn, etc. Brett always knows what Ethan will love!
I have the biggest canker that I have ever had in my entire life (and that's saying something!). It is almost as big as a dime, and just keeps getting bigger and more painful. It's hard to eat and drink, swallow, talk, everything hurts. I'm mostly just looking for sympathy here.

Also, I can't post videos on blogger anymore. I don't know why. So I set up a youtube account and will post my videos through that. Here are a couple:


She stopped doing this now, so I'm happy we have some videos. This is her way of telling me she's angry that I'm not holding her!




I'll interpret what Ethan says, "Where's the other rock? Baby Ellie has dirt on her feet right there. Baby Ellie wash it? I need to wash it. Baby Ellie go wash that."

I love her chubby little arms!

I'm sorry about your canker. Painful. I'm glad you have a video system now. I guess I should set up a youtube account too. Is it hard?

Cute pictures, Betsy! Your children are just beautiful!! I'm sorry about the canker. They're just NO fun. What works for me might sound strange, but if you're anything like me, when you're desperate, you'll try anything. When I feel one coming on, I take a spoonful of Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses. It's kind of yucky if you ask me. And I make sure to have at least a little something on my stomach or else the molasses makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. You could take a spoonful right now and see if it helps. Leave the Molasses residue in your mouth for a while. After swallowing it, don't drink any water for a while. Let the stuff do what it needs to do...
Good luck!!
