There were times (most of Audra's 12 years) when I was extremley exhausted. If the house was under control, I might lie down to take a quick half nap. A half nap is when you close your eyes to rest, but you don't fall asleep because you still have to be alert to what's going on.

These were times when Audra's younger brother Jake, took over (for some reason he had appointed himself not only the caregiver for Audra, but when his younger sister came along her's also)

He would decide that they should have a snack of Oreo cookies and milk, push Audra up to the table, gather the snack from the kitchen and go about feeding his sister.

Now feeding Audra was very tricky, first off her teeth only met so that she could chew well on the right back side of her mouth.

Secondly she had a bite reflex that could happen at any time and if you got your finger in the way, it hell'a hurt.

They say there is a special God for children and he must have been watching over the two of them because when Jake fed her, Audra never choked, and by some miracle he still has all ten of his fingers because she never bit him.

These were two things that Audra really loved, Oreo cookies and her brother, who was always there for her, Jake.
