We are at that threshold of the kids loving being near each other vs. being annoyed that they’re too close to each other and touching everything:) Wish us luck.
Black Lives Matter
Our neighborhood organized a family silent march today. It’s been a day of reflection and solidarity. Our kids are lucky to be living in this moment, to grow up prioritizing social justice, and to value the importance of being an ally to others.
As one opportunity to learn perspectives that are not our own, our preschool has started a podcast dedicated to challenging people’s orientation to words, thoughts, and advice, hosted by two male early childhood educators of color. We’re privileged to have become part of the Hilltop Children’s Center community, and this podcast is an example of the dialogue our kids are fortunate to share and lead with their teachers and friends. To listen, search for Napcast.
Between two ferns
Visiting Grandpa got a little bit closer today! And, he has a stellar scootering circle too!
Discharged!
Holmes went to physical therapy today and he passed all his tests and is officially discharged! While it’s the end of an era, to see him evolve and move forward has been wonderful to see. Thank you, Tara and Swedish Pediatric Therapy!
Checking out the chickens
The chickens have recently returned to the Chicken Palace across the street…and they’re in dire need of daily visits by their fans.
Cookie dough always wins
The great debate, cookies vs. cookie dough. Which do you prefer?
What’s Winnie the Pooh doing up there?
Holmes did great! He also got a gums massage.
No Sugar Bug Club
Success! No sugar bugs to be seen and Meryl earned a prize for not sucking her thumb anymore. Thank goodness we made it to today’s rescheduled appointment because Meryl’s been wanting to FaceTime her dentist to announce her good news:)
Teeeeeeeth!
Meryl got an x-ray of her teeth today, and she already has actual teeth all up in her gums! We’re not even close to thinking about Tooth Fairy visits! Totally normal, and pretty incredible.
