Just a Little Update

Not much new is going on in our world, but I wanted to give a little update on the boys. H & C are having a great time in summer camp, and even got to go on their first school bus trip ever to the Brookfield Zoo this week. Today Nina is staying with them, so they were excited about that. They both like eating Popsicles on the porch at night, running, trains, catching bugs and tackling the dog.

H
is really into The Weather Channel -- he requests it over Cartoon Network and loves to give us updates on the weather conditions all over the nation. Particularly the horrible flooding and tornadoes (twisters, he calls them). He also likes watching the Plant Earth DVD Series, and is into making drawings that have poison water, hot lava and fires. I think this is a phase, but I've pointed out that I prefer happier drawings. Boys... He wants to be a freight train driver when he grows up.

C
is really into the Cartoon Network, and is often heard saying "Me hate ..." to H's TV selection. He slipped in the pool last week and still has a big ole' lump on his head. No fear, I just got off the phone with the doctor's office, and he should be fine. C also had further speech evaluation yesterday, so we'll see how that goes. Of course, it was right during nap time, so he kept saying "Me hate this place." At least they could tell he can put 4-word sentences together. Yes, hate is his new word -- one we're trying to rid it from his vocabulary. He likes finding pine cones and picking flowers for me. C wants to be a freight train driver (like his brother), a police man or a fireman when he grows up.
