Joshua and Hannah's Day

Last night, Joshua and I were discussing something that he had done. After a few minutes, I said, "Joshua, why are you starting to cry?"

Choking back the tears he said, "Because I think, by the look on your face, you think I am lying."

Wow! I really need to watch what my face is saying!!

He was surprised when I told him that I knew he was being honest. Not only was he being honest but he spoke from his little heart.  Way to go!!!

Today, while I was at an appointment with Katie, Sierra was babysitting Hannah.

Hannah decides to RUNAWAY. She runs and sits down in the neighbors yard two houses down from ours. 

All Sierra wanted to do was check Hannah's blood sugar.

Tonight, when I was putting Hannah to bed, I asked her why she wanted to runaway and she said," I just don't like Diabetes. I am tired of getting my finger stuck and I WANT SOME CARBS!! Mommy, I am just having a BAD Diabetes day. I will get over it."

Bless her heart. All I could do is give her a hug and tell her that she is braver than me.  Then, I gently reminded her that she could not run away from Diabetes and if in the future she wanted to runaway not only would I find her but I would bring the insulin pin. "Hannah, you have to check your blood sugar and take insulin if you do not -- you will die."

"Well, then I want have Diabetes anymore!" , was Hannah's reply.

Yes, I would agree -- It has been a bad Diabetes Day.  Let's just say - SHE GOT SOME CARBS!
