Quick Update

Last weekend was fun.  We hiked a local peak and A made it up to the top all by himself.  The hike was 1.7 miles and I want to say about 500 to 800 feet up.

We also went kiyaking with a friend.  A sat with her and she paddled.  We saw a sailboat in the distance, but it sailed away before we could get close.

Today... A hacked off a hunk of his hair about the size of a small hamster. His preschool teachers were very apologetic.  A said he wanted to look like another classmate who recently got a haircut.  He sort of has a bad mullet, and looks like he could play a lady-in-waiting for a play.    

Repose with Stick

May is coming along nicely. As you can see, A has found a stick. His favorite thing to do is sword fight, much to the mortality of a certain tomato plant.

We're hearing a lot more of A's voice lately, mostly at home. When he's in public he still whispers. Last night he had a long and audible conversation with M, so we're hopeful that he'll be speaking with his friends in pre-school just in time for the Summer break.

Banging Lids

A has been putting himself to bed for his afternoon nap the last few days.

Right now he's banging two pot lids together. M is more tolerant of this; I have closed the door to our room as I type this.
