Both kids are sleeping now and I should be
cleaning my house and finishing my to-do list before the
childcare lady comes tomorrow for my “Welcome to Childcare”
inspection… so… what am I doing… BLOGGING of course! Or
should I say PROCRASTINATING, of course. What’s wrong with me??
Oh well, enjoy the movies.

Eve: scooting,
banging, and drooling on my floor.

Lex and
Uncle B playing with a swing at the nearby Shaker
Village.

Eve on
the baby swing at the playground. She does like
swinging!

Eve
loves it when Lex pushes her in the swing. She laughs and
laughs. See how he tries to get her out then gives up and keeps
pushing, then says “Swing Eve swing!”

1. Lex got his first bee sting
   today. We were in the car, about to drive home, and he started
   screaming. We iced it and gave him an oatmeal bath. He’s
   sleeping now. What a harsh shock when you know nothing about
   bee stings. Books and toys make bees seem sweet and friendly,
   but that’s not always so!
2. Lex
   learned Patty Cake yesterday. I showed it to him a few times,
   but he wouldn’t do it with me. Shortly after that he started
   doing it by himself, but still won’t do it with anyone else. He
   claps his hands, make full-arm rolling motions, pats his hand,
   marks a B on his belly, then makes a grand gesture towards the
   oven. So funny.
3. Lex has become
   quite the singer. He entertains himself by pushing a button on
   his Leap Frop radio, which then plays a short, quick song. He
   sings along, but sings much slower, so the music stops long
   before he does. He does this a lot in the car.
4. Lex knows his alphabet (the song anyway) and
   knows his letters, but he has recently started lining his
   letters up in a random order across the fridge and saying “It’s
   the alphabet!” Then he’ll run his finger along the letters and
   sing the alphabet song. I explain the disconnect, but he hasn’t
   fully gotten it yet. So cool watching him
   learn.”

1. Eve has her first cold.
   She’s handling it like a trooper, but you can’t help but feel
   bad for her.
2. She loves to
   laugh! She laughs if you kiss her neck or her nose. She laughs
   if you tickle her. She laughs whenever Lex is in the room. She
   loves to laugh.
3. Eve has bug
   bites all over her head. We were outside Saturday and Sunday
   evening and the mosquitoes just ate her up.
4. Eve is getting so good at keeping everything
   down. Sometimes you can see her trying to keep it down. She
   works hard and is very often successful.
