In the meanwhile, a friend came over and brought Elena six dinosaur eggs like the ones she made for her grandson for his birthday--and were they a hit! She plants plastic dinosaurs inside a shell made of baking soda. When you put them in vinegar, they fizz for a bit and with a little help, they hatch!
Elena brought Conway, the good dog, and the three of us played until just now while her parents went out to dinner.
I even got Elena to watch an episode of my telenovela to see if she could understand the Spanish. She loved it! I had to fast-forward through a few scenes, but she really got into the story.
Having eliminated gluten and sugar and Diet Cokes, I'm feeling like a new person!
