  5. I love that. It's funny how I actually knew what each one of those things were, as I have had much experience. Ha! Before Emma, I never hated insurance companies, nor did I even know there was such things as chewy tubes and aqautic therapy. This made me smile.

  8. Love it! I must admit my heart sunk a bit when I saw your post because I've been working on one for a week. I had it written right away, but I decided to make a youtube vid. It has not happened, sigh. I'm hoping to get it posted quick! Mine is completely different. Happy 12 days! :)
