Forward progress
Just a quick note, while my boys are gettng their Typhoid shots, Michael is getting the 5th (to him, not today) DTaP shot the nurse in Arlington SWORE he didn’t need (for free, with insurance) and now it turns out he needs (for cash, since insurance only covers in Mass.), and we’re getting ready to go to the zoo.
Maggie is crawling!!! Only 2-3 “steps” at a time, but she’s making forward progress and able to get toys for herself, if Jacob doesn’t get them faster. It’s pretty cute. She’s also babbling a lot more, saying “ala” (or is it “Allah”?) and la-la-la - I’ll try to get a video up of her this week. (photo: Maggie and Gramps Myette)
Jacob is still Jacob. Sweet as can be, snuggling with me by night and playing with my hair by day…but man, can he turn on a dime and earn himself a time-out for hitting his brother or kicking someone else. Oh Jacob, someday you will have learned to better regulate your emotions and behavior. Hopefully soon… (Right: Jacob and Jack)
And Michael? He gets to go both to zoo camp this next week and tennis lessons the following two weeks! If he makes it through, it should be a fun 3 weeks for him as he works on physical, mental and interpersonal skills. He’s getting so big, it’s amazing to think he’ll start kinder this fall. Now all we have to do is figure out where… (photo: last day of school, with teachers)
Michael-John is also making forward progress in his class and independent study, but I’ll let him talki about that. As for me, I’m doing the final sort of toys, books, clothing and household goods to see what makes the cut for Teguc.
