The Circulatory System

Ever since Jill had some blood drawn at the ripe old age of two, and thought it was ketchup, she's had a love/hate/fascination with blood. In an anesthesia induced rage, she removed her own IV after getting Tubes #2 implanted in June 2007.

For a while, she insisted that there was no blood in her body, just bones and skin...we think that this is due to the Tubes scenario and a trip to the Austin Children's Museum in which the human body and all of it's systems were on display. For months afterward she would actually cry about her having/not having blood.

A few weeks ago, I was driving her to school and we had quite a discussion about the heart, blood, blood pressure, cuts & scrapes, and scabs. I'm telling you...I told her everything I know, which seemed to satisfy her...for the time-being.
