Good afternoon.

Well it's just another day in cold, wet, gray Monroe. But at least we are healthy, which alot better than a lot of the moms I've talked with lately.

We just got back from preschool. Caleb is enjoying the quick little run around time I afford him right after school releases. The other moms are hanging out a little longer too. He just needs to get the wiggles run out before I take him home. Joshy was awake this time too. Normally I keep Joshy awake during school and then put them both down in the afternoon.... they both get naps, it makes the afternoon quicker and quieter (other wise I'd have hours of mediating over the hitting, pushing, and sharing to do). But today, Joshy just couldn't stay awake and so he was up and ready to run with the big kids. Again fun, but right now COLD. But those spring days are just 12 weeks away!

Joshy went to his first Wiggle Worms gym class this year (and for a long time). Grammy Dahl took him and said that he had a great time. He proved to be advanced in his skills and was climbing and jumping on everything. I'm glad that he got time with Grammy (and Papa during lunchtime) and that he got to do an activity without big brother cutting in or cutting him down. And it's so nice to hear that Joshy was succeeding in a peer group.

Caleb was really upset yesterday. We finally got to the bottom of it. Caleb had heard that Grandpa Dahl had hurt his head and gone to the hospital. Caleb actually thought Grandpa Dahl had died. I was shocked and thought that the best way to solve it would be to call Grandpa... Caleb at first said no, because he didn't want to talk to dead people. He ran and hid and was so overwhelmed with emotion that he was bottling things up. But it was surprising that he didn't want to solve it by talking to Grandpa on the phone; Daddy eventually made him hear that Grandpa was ok and hear his voice. Then Caleb kind of burst open and cried, I'm hoping it was just out of relief. I'm sure Caleb will be better after he sees Grandpa. It was all just so surprising how he interpreted the information and then what he did with it.

Joshy still insists that he is a robot. And we are still trying to convince him that robots use the potty.

Well, that's it for not having too much to say.
