Those are some well defined ribs. He "has a hole in his leg" as the expression goes. This kid eats basically everything and anything. He would guzzle a gallon of milk in a few days if we let him.
Ender changes outfits atleast twice a day. Summer or winter he'd rather be in his "tarzans" (underwear) Cora, summer or winter would rather be buck naked. In the winter, however she orders me to roll out the space heater in the kitchen so she can eat breakfast comfortably. Anyway....
The lightning and thunder splintered and cracked the iron clouds. Rain gushed out and my tough girl that likes to push her big brother around whimpered and begged to go back inside. The thunder was intense, its great sound smashing straight over head, but I couldn't go inside. Its not me. I tried to comfort her with a little education and teach her to count the seconds between the flash of light and the peal of thunder. I think it took hold. Later that evening, she and Gunther accompanied me on a puddle jumping walk while the sky still gurgled and fizzed with electric clouds. I am beginning to pay more heed to her. She has always been so simple to interact with, yet lately, she is demanding a more complex response from me and zander. Some things she just can't get over as easily like before. She needs a human connection to encourage, persuade or distract her. It only takes a moment of this "extra effort" and she's back on track, but if you choose to dismiss her feelings.... cover your ears and duck because she's coming for you. Its a normal and healthy thing being 2 1/2, its just that the majority of my mental energy was required by our strong willed Ender. "Oh would you look at that, Cora needs a mom and a dad too. Make room Ender Johnny"
