So, let's see. What's happened since my last post? Well...
The men finally got their traps in the water. Sherman's gone nonstop of course, but Brady's been out a few times too, missing a little school here and there to earn some extra money. We got up and left the house at 6:30 on setting day (and then again on the day they actually did set) to see Brady and Sherman off. One of us was a lot more chipper than the other at being out in the cold at 6:30. I was better after my coffee :)
We went to the dentist for the first time last week. He sat on my lap and was very good and let Dr. Van count his teeth. The prize was a new toothbrush. It was all good. Next comes his flu shot - I'm not looking forward to that :(
Brady helps coach an Atom hockey team, so he's been away a few weekends lately. He always comes home with Timbits for a certain someone. "Donits - yeah!"
It's cute, he has this little suitcase that has a handle and wheels. He plays with it a lot. Sometimes it's a golf bag, sometimes it's a hockey bag. It just depends on the season around here, I guess. He also has Sherman's old cell phone. We've had to work on imaginative play quite a bit, it hasn't come easy for him. But now he'll take his phone and "call" Keely on it. It goes something like this, "Hawoe Keeyee. A doe in da woader? Sure, sure, sure. Otay, bye."
He went to a birthday party on Saturday for his twin friends Austin and Ryan and that was fun.
We've had visits with a speech-language pathologist the last two months, and she's really pleased with his progress from one month to the next. He had his hearing checked and that was perfect. We continue to see Early Intervention twice a month. His 3&1/2 year assessment will be coming up shortly, I presume.
I've been trimming for Christmas. Brady asked last Sunday if we could put up our tree. We have an artificial one so up it went. We did our annual tradition of trimming while watching The Polar Express and having cocoa and snacks. It was a good evening and our tree is loaded and beautiful. Plus, there was a chance to help Sherman fix the "lopsidedness" of the tree, and a chance to crawl around on Brady. FUN!
We also have a tradtion of a new Christmas book on December 1st, so that will be coming right up, along with the advent calendar. We have our church concert to look forward to, and a little someone is going to be in the Boy's and Girl's Club annual telethon with his daycare friends (that's the plan anyway). I will try to do two posts next month because of all the action.
Christmas here we come!!!
