He Did It!

Andrew rolled over from his back to his tummy this morning! It was very exciting. He's been rolling over from tummy to back since a month and a half old, but he finally rolled over the other way today.
So it's only been the one time, but I'm guessing that once he gets the hang of it, he will be rolling all over.
He is trying to get up on his hands and knees as well....I've seen his belly get off the floor for a fraction of a second, but he ends up just scooting himself backward! He's so cute.
He LOVES his new book; it tastes great!

Yesterday, I read "Oh Say Can You Say" by Dr. Seuss to Nick. It is a book of tongue twisters. I was trying to explain what a tongue twister was by giving an example. I said, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many pecks of pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?"
Nick said, "Ten."
So I tried another one. "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
Nick said, "Eight."
I gave up. I was laughing too hard to go on. I couldn't explain that I wasn't looking for an answer, I was trying to demonstrate a tongue twister. He enjoyed the book anyway.

Ethan is running around the house lately shouting, "Wah wah wah waaaaaaahhhh" No, those aren't crying noises; they're karate noises. He's kicking his legs and punching his fists at everything around here. He's too funny.

Joey is doing well in school. We've got parent/teacher conferences coming up the week after next. I'm a little sad because I don't get to go this time. Nick is going to take a few minutes of work so he can go. He never gets to do those "parenty" things like doctor's appts and conferences because he is always working, so he gets to have a turn. Joey loves to read and is enjoying his math as well. He has difficulty with subtraction sometimes, but I think he just needs to take more time, instead of rushing through it. He doesn't always pay attention to what is being asked. His biggest issue is time management; he doesn't focus on his work. He gets distracted very easily, and not just by outside influences. His own mind will distract him. And not just with school work; I will have to remind him every couple minutes to keep getting dressed. By the time he is finally dressed, twenty minutes has gone by! It can be very frustrating. But it is exciting to see him learn and grow.

It's lunch time around here, so I better go make noodle soup; the kids are starving! (I rarely feed them, you see.)
