Our Personal Feats

Ah! Had to jot down a few things before forgetting them, or something.

Zeke is nine lessons away from being at par with the first grade reading level. Just a few minutes ago he showed me he can hop across part of the room on one foot. He announced at breakfast that he is getting bigger!

Reid is learning different things that I show him to help him feel more and more independent. The back door for example. He can go out of it, but hollers until somebody comes to let him in. I showed him that even though he cannot reach the handle, he can still open it by the bottom corner. He loves that! He could have been potty trained by now I bet. But maybe that means it will go easy and quick when it does happen (soon).

Gwen has finally begun to say a few consonants. I have her on video (to prove it to Matt) that she says, "Dadadadada," now. Today she included, "Nanananana," in the mix. Her two teeth are slowly coming in.

Matt ran five miles at Boys Town for Memorial Day. He also joined a running group somebody at TDAmeritrade put together. We went to a workshop at a fitness shop showing us how to pick the right shoes and stuff.

I am trying to clean up the area around the rose bushes. It is scary back there. But I'm pleased with how the landscaping is slowly shaping up. I'm once again called as the Cub Scout Bear Den Leader. I trust that even though the den tripled (literally) while I was away, I think things will go exceptionally well.

So that is us in a nutshell right now. Our personal feats. :)
