"Elaina, please don't lick butter off your pancake."
"Elaina, please don't butter your hand."
"Elaina, please use your fork or spoon."
Elaina reprimands me for calling her knife a spoon. "Mommy, why you call this a spoon. It's a knife." Elaina gets a spoon out of the drawer and proceeds to pick her peaches up and put them on her spoon to take a bite.
I love breakfast.
About Me
- Amy Benton
- In June 2001 I married my best friend, Allan. We have had five children, three of whom are living. Emily and Alexa are twins who turned 5 in Nov. Elaina will be 3 in March. Our baby Ava was born August 13, 2009 and died on Dec. 18, 2009. Our son, Eric, also died when he was 4 months old. He would have been 6 in Aug '09. They both had the same very rare Mitochondrial disease. A Fund has been established to assist with Ava's medical bills. If you feel lead to help us in that way Checks may be made out to "Ava Benton Medical Fund" and sent to: Linda S. Dilorio Wilmington Trust Company 151 Lantana Drive Hockessin, DE 19707.

This morning I attended Sacred Heart in Oxford, PA. I thought of you while we sang this song:
