The best part of the day is when daddy comes home from work. He will run, jump, tickle, give horsey rides, wrestle and rough house until bedtime and they just eat it up! He really gets them going and they love the little funny games he does with them. Sometimes they do dances or play games like "Teddy Bear" or "Ring around the Rosy", but most of the time, they do what you see in the pictures, lay on the floor, attack daddy and get tickled in retaliation. Go daddy!
Well, so far so good on the health front. The pink eye has not returned again. Although, whenever we see any matter in someone's eye we freak out and lament that we just can't take anymore pink eye! So far, all false alarms, although Xander had some runny matter in his eye right before bed, so we'll see what happens when he wakes up tomorrow morning. No other major illnesses, though. Will has a slight cold that is setting off his asthma a little, so we've resumed albuterol treatments and he has a terribly runny nose and is drooling like a fountain. But, no fever and he's not really sick, so this one should pass quickly. The other are fine and Brian and I are fine, too. So, because everyone's healthy, we've been out and about a lot. The museum Thursday and Friday of last week (our last museum class is this Thursday). They spent Friday night and some of Saturday at the Niebuhr's, we also went to the park on Saturday because the weather was GORGEOUS! Boy, did that ever give us spring fever. Sunday was church and errands, Monday more errands and to the Hoefs' house. Tuesday, storytime, and Wednesday will be a playgroup and lunch at church.
On Saturday when we were playing outside, Grace got onto a tricycle and proceeded to start pedaling. She got one or two times around before her feet fell off the pedals, but with more outside time and practice, I think she'll start pedaling and be going up and down the block in no time. We were so surprised! Tonight, while reading Will Dr. Seuss' ABC book, I informally tested him on the letters, and he knew all but about 6 of them. Pretty darn good, we think. He and Xander are finally getting the colors. They will get them receptively by pointing to the ones you ask for, and they're averaging a little better than half right expressively. Xander has been showing off his counting skills to people at church and they were impressed. Not much else to report, things are just rolling along these days, looking forward to nice weather and spring activities. Hope you all are healthy and we'll catch up with you more next week.
