So, trying to ignore the anxiety about the defense. . .

And had to write about my most recent conversation with Cocoa- I am just in awe of my daughter, and when we have these conversations, I am always amazed by her sweetness and her effortless concern about others. . .

We have a last minute French exchange student living with us, he got here last week. When I told Cocoa about the arrival the following conversation occurred;

Me- Well, our guest will be here tomorrow

Cocoa- You mean &%$? (privacy issue)

Me- Yes, he is coming here because he has no other place to go to.

Cocoa- We will take good care of him until he can find a good home, right?

Me- He has a good home in France, but no home here.

Cocoa- Are we going to help his mommy and daddy too? They need a place to live and food too in AMERICA! (her very annoyed voice here)

Me- Cocoa, they are fine, they just need us to take care of him for awhile.

Cocoa- He will be ANOTHER brother. . .but I like that.
