If everything is going right then Monkey should get his cast off next Wednesday.  We'll see.  I hope so.  It'll be 6 weeks in the cast and almost 7 since he broke it.  It's been both fast and slow but we're ready to move on.  I want to see his little body in the bathtub again!

Monkey is about 3.5 years now.  Moonpie is 14 months now.  Incredible. 

They're really starting to play together.  Interacting and chasing each other around.  They get each other laughing and teasing all the time.  I'm always on edge because they're still too rough and uncoordinated with each other.  Still, it's wonderful to see them as friends and brothers.  Good things to come. 

Moonpie has been walking since 10 months.  He's got about 5 B words and also says Dada, Mama (less often), and kitty.  He has dimples on his dimples.  The most amazing smile I have ever seen.  And he's also got opinions.  He's dramatic when he doesn't get his way.  Also obsessed with bottles.  Wants a milk bottle.  I want him off the bottle, but that's going to be a big deal.  A big process I think.  I'm trying not to think about it or worry about it much.  He's also a great eater.  Many fewer opinions about food than Monkey.  So that makes him easier at meals than his brother.  No complaints on food.

Monkey is learning to swim.  For about a week now he's been swimming with us in the big pool without anything to support him.  He's kind of fearless about it and that makes me nervous.  He's getting better and better every day though.  Pretty amazing.  He is a Pisces after all.  My little fish.  He should be really swimming on his own by the end of the summer I think.   We swim every day after school.

They are wonderful.

We took 600 pictures on our vacation.  Here are a handful of my favs...

Fevers have broken, like the first morning, blackbird has spoken, like the first bird...oh sorry, I'll stop singing now.  Their fevers have broken.  Monkey woke up good to go this morning.  Moonpie had a really rough night.  And therefore, I, had a really rough night.  He stayed home with me today.  Uneventful doctor's appt in the morning.  His ears are fine.  That's what I was mostly worried about.  His fever was done by the time we got home.  We'll see how tonight goes.  I'm pooped.  No daycare tomorrow.  On my own with the two dudes again.  Wish me luck.  They wear me out.

Merry almost Christmas!
