Been hanging out with my nephews as the six year-old recuperates from a last-minute tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy.  

We're taking it easy.  Working on Star Wars sticker books, watching cartoons and decorating stuff with paint pens.

Trying not to talk much.  Getting pretty good at our version of sign language.  Goes something like this:

One finger = popsicle
Two fingers = orange sherbet
Three fingers = rainbow sherbet
Four fingers =  cake batter ice cream
Five fingers = vanilla & chocolate swirl

The first day was mainly thumbs-down; yesterday was medium.  Hoping today is thumbs-up all the way!
