My Belly is a One

"My belly is a one right now.".... I had to think a moment when Bella told me that...why was her belly a one? And then I realized what she was explaining... I'd asked her how her tummy was feeling.  It hurt today (Wednesday)..barely ate breakfast, didn't eat lunch. She laid down in Nurse Ginger's office during recess and Mrs. Kornegay said she spent a long time in the restroom. So at the end of the day when I picked her up and asked her how her tummy was feeling she was describing the "One to Ten Pain Scale"

 As the afternoon progressed she moved it to a three but back down to a one.    She said when she laid down in the nurse's office her belly was a five because her face was like this ..and made a very sad face.  She told me when her belly was "really bad like when we stayed up way late until all night was gone..and daddy rubbed my belly...that was pwobably (probably) a ten because I cried."

What five year old knows what a Pain Scale is? And what is so sad is that she knows the levels.  

I HATE CF.

Bella loves taking the Jeep
and it's her job to unlock it! 
(she has her "estimating" cup
..it's a homework assignment)

 

Ice cream picnic! She wears it well!

 At last we know who friend "Four" is!! Bella kept telling me it is was sort of like "Burkley's momma's name Kelly but not Kelly"..so I tried every combination I could think of but it was always "no..that's not it"..so today we found out (via a birthday party invitation) that her name is Elianna but she is called... "Elli"!  Welcome Elli to the circle of friends!  LOL!

A footnote to this week's blog...a certain audio/video van was back in the neighborhood...working once again on a certain house...Bella said.."oh no..not again!! Those poor people. "
