Developments

(this post is from last week, it just never made it up, sorry for the delay!)

I apologize for the lack of updates lately.  My life has been taken over by an asylum case at work and preparing for Tough Mudder.  The family however is surviving and doing well!

On Friday when Dave and I picked up the kids from school, Noomi’s teacher informed us that she spent the whole afternoon in the toddler room.  She ate lunch with the big kids and even took a 2 hour nap on a cot.  They said she did great.  She loved going outside and playing, and the teachers walked her all over the place.  I took the news ok.  She is our little girl and she is getting so big, so fast, I cannot believe it.  She still isn’t walking by herself.  Dave thinks at 13 months she’ll be walking.  She is a great eater and has been using more and more words lately.  Her favorite right now is – What’s that?

Ajax has also been doing well (though both kids have a little cold, which seems to be going around).   He has been obsessed lately with watching Tractor Simulator’s on the Kindle.  Yes, tractor simulator is a computer/Nintendo game and he watches other people playing.  They go around and work – harvest wheat, plow a field, etc.  Ajax now tells us that he needs to go to his room to play tractor simulator and that he has a lot of work to do.  Per his account his entire room is a field.  He’ll ask you to come play with him, but when you go into his room, he won’t let you touch any of his tractors and tells you to just sit there, he’ll do the work. lol.  I believe he told me that I wasn’t plowing the “field” in a straight line, so I should just give him the tractor and he’d do it.

Dave and I have also been checking out various towns around Lansing, so that we can decide where we want to move soon.   We have explored Eaton Rapids, Dimondale, and Williamston.  So far, we love Williamston, they just don’t have a lot of inventory as it’s kind of rural.
