Jasmine

I cannot put into words how much I absolutely love that girl. She is the most amazing person I have known. I can't believe how much she has grown in the last year. It is so crazy. The last week or two she has learned a lot, and it really just happens all of a sudden. She grows up too fast, it seems. She understands so much now. I can communicate with her finally, and it feels so great. Of course, just because she knows what I say sometimes, doesn't mean she agrees. She crawls over to the same pot over and over, and I have told her to stay out of it SO many times. It's cute though. She is so persistent, and that is really good. She is very stubborn, and wants things her way. She is very good, and independent, though too. She is a good mix of both, and the way I have done things seems to be working out great. I felt really bad about taking her sippy cup away from her, but she has done very well, and I am so proud of her. She still has a hard time remembering to tip it up, and pick it up with the spout towards her, but I don't think it is because she doesn't know. I think it is because her mind is elsewhere. She is a lot like me, and a lot like her daddy, and I think it has worked out to be a very good mix. She is stubborn and outspoken, even though she can't talk. She loves to be the center of attention, and loves to show off. That would be the good qualities she got from her daddy. From me she has inherited her need to figure things out, and learn. She got her extreme gooberness from me too. I love her so much. I think I am going to go. I'll keep this one short.

I am wondering why, though, some people don't want government run health care. I think that is what Obama is doing. I don't know. I don't get a lot of that stuff, no matter how hard I try. Apparently Russia and Canada have it that way, and people complain about the quality. I don't know. I wish I did. Chris has tried to explain, but I don't get it. Why does it have to be that way? I really like what Obama has said about trying to change how much we pay for it and everything else about the pharmacutical companies, but if he is trying to make government run health care, wouldn't it seem like a good idea, because if it was bad, and hasn't worked other places then why would he do it? I don't know. Whateva. I'm going to bed fo realz now. lata
