C'mon Patrick

The little boys are 10 days shy of their 4 month mark and doing great! They both roll (from their tummy), smile ALOT and giggle. Finn is especially giggly and loves to get his diaper changed and will laugh constantly while on the changing table. He also likes to sleep and does so from about 7:30 pm - 6:30 am! Yay Finn. Patrick is a sweet, sweet boy who just loves to be held and gives sweet smiles when you pay him attention. He eats more than Finn but is smaller. He likes to see Mommy and Daddy so much that he still wakes up at midnight and around 3:00 or 4:00 am....C'mon Patrick, get with the sleeping program! :) We love to see him too, but the middle of the night is not the preferred time to visit!

Calan started an in-home, Waldorf style (play-based) pre-school last week on Tuesday/Thursday. He is doing well once he's there but he does cry when Neils drops him off. The teacher/owner of the school, who's been caring for children for nearly 30 years, said that it takes about 15 days (of attending) for the children to acclimate. I hope that's true. I did get to observe him last Thursday without him knowing I was there for about 30 mins and he did great! He was having a snack with all the kids and was having fun! It was so great to watch him without him knowing, because I got to see how he did when we aren't around. He has also been napping on a mat in the same room with all the other kids!!! I am astounded by this, as he's only ever napped well in his crib. Kudos to his teacher for being able to get him down! Here's some pics of the boys from about a month ago....I'll have to upload the others from my camera sometime in the next century!
