where have we been

It's been a while since I updated this. What's been happening? Not much, really. On the pooping front, we are making progress. Pepe came to me this afternoon and announced: "Mommy, I have poopies", and we went together to the toilet and discarded the poop, and Pepe flushed it, proudly. This happened after a couple of days of "poop throwing".

Pepe and I have been playing "bicycle" and "jumping Jacks". How do you play? In "bicycle" Pepe gets bike rides on my legs. I sit on my back, with my legs up, knees bent, and Pepe sits on my shins. We do variations of "circle bicycle", "bumpy bicycle" and Pepe pays 5 dollars for each of the , yes, 5 rides. Jumping Jacks is more complex - my legs are straight up and Pepe sits on my feet; eventually he falls onto the bed. Chris tried to do these too, but, no running/swimming = no strong legs = no bicycle...

Karl, Rosie and Rowan visited on Friday and the kids had a ball. Took a couple of pics, will post later.

We Lukesat on Saturday and Sunday and visited the new Children's museum in Dover. Pepe had a ball, I had a ball, Pepe can't wait to go back, I can't wait to go back. Truly, there is so much to do there. Also, we got to see theinscritption with Pepe and the other cousins' names on the museum's wall..thank you Margaret!

The boy has been playing the guitar and drums like a true rocker, switching from instrument to instrument based on the songs.. His got the leg movement down when he plays the guitar. Oh, and he loves Christmas music and memorizes them no matter the language. I just realized that he memorizes words in songs by sound, and this is why the words come up weird at times...
