One thing about having girls in the house is someone is always singing. Elsa seems to focus on one song at a time. There was "Let it Go" and "Once Upon a Dream". Now we are on a special selection composed by Grandpa.
Here's some other selections. I tried to get her to do some old ones she liked, but she wasn't having any of that.

Medical Mysteries
It seems like my kids keep introducing me to new ailments. Sage had a weird virus called roseola the other week. Elsa had a joint infection, which I didn't even know was possible. Nadia had selective mutism and now we are onto another adventure with her.
For the past year she constantly is clearing her throat or is coughing. CONSTANTLY. Every time I took her to the doctor for other reasons, they would comment how she has unusually large tonsils. This past week I had had enough, so I took her to the doctor and asked if we could have her tonsils removed. The doctor said they don't do that anymore unless you have 4 documented cases of tonsillitis or you have sleep apena and that it is more likely she has what is known as a "habit cough" and it is just a nervous tic. I'm pretty frustrated about it. She coughs at night and snores. Today she stood next to me and I could hear rattling when she was breathing normally. It's clearly more than a psychological thing, but apparently doctors don't like to remove tonsils anymore. The doctor told Nadia to "stop it" and this video is the result of Nadia trying not to cough (she hams it up at the end). Thanks doc. Great solution.
