Daniel...Reading so much...telling time...getting the hang of $...loving our new rec center swim pass...enjoying more time with friends from school...still interested in boats...but planets have entered the scene...getting so tall...so good for Mrs. Glinka...goes to an adventure club (social skills) called Game On on Tuesday afternoons...participating in Cub Scout outings (bowling last week)...still an extremely picky eater...but started eating strawberries!!!...learning to downhill ski with Dad at Snow Trails! Telluride...here we come!
Bay Lanes (vintage!) with Cub Scouts
Jonathan...Still as sweet as ever...but no denying that slightly devilish passive-aggressive push-my-brothers'-buttons-when-my-mom-isn't-looking side (stuck in the middle...cannot totally blame the guy!)...learning lots about numbers and reading and animals at Montessori...loves his teachers Miss Sara and Mrs. Johnson (from Germany and a boater!)...pretend plays with Tommy (usually in closets...major mess)...gives me occassional parenting advice ("Mom, I think you should just ignore Daniel when he does that.") as well as occassional puppy training advice ("Mom, Annie is just a puppy -- she doesn't know better." -- as she chews the 5th leather shoe - and never a pair!)...loves to eat snow but still learning about where to safely dine...very interested in planets and geography/maps -- two big Christmas gifts...loves to find Oakland, CA on the map and think of Aunt Lisa (we need to field trip there!!)...enjoys the rec center pool but is longing for the day he hits the 48" mark so he go down the slides and lily pads with his tall brother (he makes me measure him every time we go...just in case he has grown that one inch overnight!?!)...is eating A LOT (like 2 dogs as an afterschool snack!)...simply a joy!
Duty calls - will finish post later - but am publishing any way!!!
