Today I went to the doctor to get some extremely dry skin on my hands finally checked out after about six months (yes, I procrastinate going to the doctor). It turns out it is eczema and the doctor prescribed a steroid cream that I have to apply. Well, in order to keep the cream on he said I had to wear gloves for a week. Then, he proceeded to give me a box of blue rubber gloves and said, "Here, they're on the house." When I asked him if he meant that I had to wear them all day and night, he said, "Well only for a week...or two if it doesn't clear up in a week." I don't think he truely understood what he was asking me to do. First of all, Michael thinks the whole situation is quite funny and has been cracking every joke in the book. Secondly, my hands are sweating to death- sure the eczema may clear up, but I may develop permanent prune hands! Lastly, people will probably think I am a germ-a-phobe, so I don't think I will be making many public apperances this week. Here is a picture of my "Smurfette" hands.

Today got even more funny when we were waiting for Weston to fall asleep. He is doing this new thing where he likes to look at you upside down and make silly noises. Well, before we turned on the camera he was talking up a storm, and then as soon as we started taping he stopped. We thought it would be another uneventful clip until this happened...
It is very fun to hear real words out of his silly noises and this was almost too perfect!!
I can be the Pipi, and he can be the pipsqueek, Hey!
ReplyDeleteI laughed my head off at this! too funny
ReplyDeleteToo funny-- do the gloves fit with your "new style"?;)
ReplyDeleteMaria, you have another "new style"? Is this different than your "surfer/Californian" look from Ambers house days? I love the Smurf hands and my your little Weston speaks so well ;) That was too funny!
