Play-Doh Lunch with Clayton

Clayton LOVES play-doh. He just called me into the kitchen to check out the lunch he made.

Me: Ohhh, yum. What is it?

Silence.

Me: Is it a salad? Is this the lettuce, and are these the tomatoes?

Clayton (rolling eyes, in most annoyed 3 year old voice): No, Mommy. It's a taco with lettuce!

Well, excuse me! That has to be the most disgusting taco with lettuce I've ever seen. It was slightly more appetizing as a salad.

I have to go now because according to Clayton, "Eli is makin' a big mess in my room! Go check on him!"

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

From http://www.mayoclinic.org/hlhs/

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is an abnormality in which the left side of the heart (left ventricle, aortic valve and aorta) is severely underdeveloped. The condition is congenital (present at birth).

When the left-side heart structures are underdeveloped, the right side of the heart must pump blood to both the lungs and to the rest of the body. In the womb, a baby's body receives oxygen-rich blood through a communication (connection) called the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). After birth, the PDA spontaneously begins to close. An undeveloped heart cannot pump efficiently enough to support life and that is when a baby with HLHS gets very sick. Without treatment, the defect is usually fatal within the first several days of life.
