robot baby, amanda, oklahoma and Izzy...

Thank you all for your concern and prayers about Amanda.  Her neck is still hurting and stiff, but she will be fine.  Thank God.  She saw Heath again yesterday and he is x-raying it Monday.  Her friend who was driving also has whiplash and is seeing her doctor.  The boy that hit them doesn't have any visible injuries and I am not sure if he or his riders have whiplash, it would seem reasonable to assume they do.  There are issues of not providing insurance information etc. that are being dealt with now.  Hopefully it will all work out fine.  I really am just so thankful that no one was injured badly.

I mentioned robot baby.  Amanda has named it after her boyfriend.  I would say it's a he or she... it came home from school yesterday in boy clothes but she raided our baby clothes drawer and has it dressed more stylish in some of Izzy's old clothes and shoes... and a ribbon around it's head.  I think it is technically a boy, but oh well.  She went to her friend's school play last night and had to take the baby.  She has a wrist band that will be cut off on Monday.  When the baby cries she has to be close enough to it to touch her wriststrap to it's sensor.  No leaving this baby behind.   It cried hysterically a few times yesterday.  She was funny and kinda panicky ... It has a bottle with a sensor and makes drinking noises until it's finished.  they diapers have a sensor so it knows when it has been changed.  She is taking a 9 week class in family and parenting so this is one of the requirements.  I think it is a good learning experience, but I regret that she is not in school today.  She was up with baby robot all night (it was crying a lot) and her neck hurts.  The combination was too much.  

I went to Emelia's school last night for a dinner theater fundraiser event.  They served bbq and since today is Oklahoma's 100th year celebration it was very much like the old show "hee haw."  It was a little long, but very entertaining and it made a great profit for her school.  

That's all for now, I'm off to Bear (with Izzy).
Speaking of Izzy... she is doing really good!  She loves the letter of the week in school and is very consistently choosing (by looking) at the letter we tell her to identify.  She just acts so intent to learn which is very exciting.
