ever since sparklet was old enough to talk, her favorite shirt (of mine) was the “green one with the snaps” which she proceeded to rip open, usually in very public places, without an ounce of notice.

unfortunately, the shirt has died — the elbow ripped open after months and months, and years and years of wear. it’s been replaced with not one but two more shirts with snaps, but i’m sure they will never be as loved.

rest in peace, green one with the snaps. rest in peace.

another trip back to children’s, this time to get a quick ultrasound of sparklet’s port wine stain.

there is a statistical possibility that what we see on the cheek could actually be something else, so they goop-ed her up and took a sonogram just to be sure.

fortunately for her, the television just happened to be playing “the muppets” — once upon a time, her favorite movie — so she got to sing along with mommy, while they rubbed a ultrasound wand around her cheeks.
