Ladybug = so last year

Several people have told me they've had trouble leaving comments here. Sorry about that. I don't know what the problem is, but if anyone has suggestions, I'll try to fix it. I've had the same problem trying to comment on some friends' blogs too. Could it be because I'm using an old version of Explorer? I know nothing about such things. Special thanks to those of you who have gone out of your way to email or Facebook message me your comments after failed attempts to leave them on the blog!

Claire's had a runny nose and generally not been quite herself for a few days -- a little clingy, quick to cry, not eating much, sleeping a lot (I'm making her sound depressed) -- so we kept her home from school yesterday morning so she could just chill. I had scheduled two interviews for an article for the morning, so Matt the Amazing stayed home for the first couple of hours that Evan was at school to play with Claire while I worked upstairs. The girl loves her daddy and I was glad they got that one-on-one time.

She went with me to pick up Evan and wanted to stop in and say hi to her teachers while we were there. At naptime I was praying for her to feel better and she interrupted me to say, "Mom, I'm already feeling better!" I hope so. I hate seeing her feel bad.

Speaking of Claire, what should she be for Halloween? (Evan's covered.) When we ask her, she answers, "Two!" So. Leave a comment. If you can.
