Rough life, I know. So you procrastinate<br \/>\n    until the very end, then open the dishwasher and&#8230; it&#8217;s empty!<br \/>\n    Yay! Of course I unloaded it earlier in the day, but I forgot,<br \/>\n    so it was a nice little surprise :) <\/p>\n<p>But<br \/>\n    what I really wanted to mention (again) is how amazing it is to<br \/>\n    watch Lex learn. He&#8217;s getting really good at categorization.<br \/>\n    For example, whenever he sees something resembling a frog,<br \/>\n    he&#8217;ll do the frog sign and look at me questioningly. This is<br \/>\n    impressive to me. It&#8217;s not always a frog, but most often it is.<br \/>\n    He recognizes real frogs, drawings, puppets, abstract things,<br \/>\n    toys, etc. All very different looking, but all frogs. He also<br \/>\n    is very good at finding clocks. Anything that&#8217;s round with<br \/>\n    numbers and hands. But the other day he started pointing out<br \/>\n    the square and\/or numberless clocks. It&#8217;s just amazing how<br \/>\n    rapidly his brain is working and processing all of this<br \/>\n    seemingly mundane information. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway,<br \/>\n    Alan is home now so I gotta go. PS &#8211; the carpet and paint is<br \/>\n    done upstairs. The house is really looking great!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like when you are facing a sink full of dirty dishes and dreading the fact that you have to unload the dishwasher first.
