Josie was trying to bite Jim's ear here, which Eve found hysterical.
Here's Josie getting yelled at.
And here's just a fun nearly naked picture. Isn't amazing how Eve is growing? She's really lengthening and losing her baby fat. She has a kid body and not a baby body.
Eve has been doing well at school. Last week she was out one day (she had gotten sick on the bus), and one of her classmates was asking for her all day. Apparently he fights over pushing her around in her wheelchair. There's another kid who's on her bus who always wants to push her, too. Sounds like she's popular. Yesterday Eve was the light helper and helped turn on and off the lights everytime they came and went from the classroom. I think she's calendar helper next. I love that she's being given jobs to do. Since she's so bossy, I just bet she loves being in charge of something.
Last week I had the most surreal experience. I was in Toys R us with Eve when a woman approached me and asked me if Eve had mito. Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Turns out she had caught sight of Eve's biopsy scar. She then introduced me to her family. One of her children has mito. She's a beautiful 6 year old who has the same type of mito as Eve but is night to Eve's day. This sweetie is walking and talking, but is dependent on tubes for feeding. I believe she also has seizures. Anyhow, we exchanged information and I am still amazed by the situation. I think when your kid is suffering from something so rare, you feel very alone. Usually if anyone asks what is wrong with Eve I don't bother to mention mito specifically, because it results in blank stares. So, to actually meet someone who not only knows what I am going through, but is on the same path...well, that is staggering. I feel very fortunate that I decided to go to Toys R us that day. What are the odds?
