LOL!!!  (And groaning with you, too :) ).  I haven't had to worry about 
chasing Keren, but I can tell she's just about had it with "boring mom" 
and being stuck at home all summer!  We're constantly fighting her with 
self-stim behaviors recently--poking her eyes, biting her lip, gouging 
her gums, gagging herself....  If it's not one it's another! I haven't 
exactly been a scintillating companion for her what with being first, 
very pregnant, and now feeding her sister numerous times during the 
day.  Plus getting out is a challenge, and I'm such a homebody that 
half the time I don't make much effort!  School will be just the thing 
for Keren!

So, don't worry!  Vent away--we understand!
