This time Matthew went to the Andrew's for most of the afternoon. I finished pruning the trees, and got a diagnosis on the chainsaw of "probably not worth fixing".

Matthew lost his first tooth today! This was very unexpected, there were no wigglies, or other warning signs that it was coming out. He was in school and apparently he was starting to eat his banana for snack and it just came out. The school put it in a really nice little tooth container ( Read more... ) -

Matthew tried td crawl in with us at 2:00am last night. It was my unpleasant daddy duty to have to tell him he has his own bed for a reason, and to pick him up and carry him back to his own bed, tuck him in and tell him we still loved him. I'm not sure he minded, he was semiconscious at best, but still I felt like a total heel. Later, around 5:00 ( Read more... ) -

Mom here. When I picked up Matthew today, I asked him if he'd had a good day. He said "Yes," but Miss Michelle (who signs the student's in and out) just gave him A Look. Turns out that Matthew had had a meltdown during one of the centers; when asked to pick out the red squares, he began crying that he wanted to pick out the blue ones, blue ( Read more... ) -
Good news, bad news
Mom here. The good news is that the bobcat didn't show up today as he has the past two Thursdays The bad news is that he didn't show up--I was waiting for him all day, keeping an ear out for the chickens and an arrow nocked on the bow. Was rather looking forward to a bobcat pelt for my birthday, I was ( Read more... )
