Last night, Alex set Aimee down on my bedroom floor quite a distance from me in the hopes that she’d do some walking practice like she’d done at the library earlier in the day. Instead she sat on her knees, reached for one of the two-way radios plugged in near where she was and started playing with it. Alex called to her to go to Mom, but to no avail. So he took the radio away, moved himself away, and held the radio out like the proverbial carrot. She looked at him, swung her arms around for a moment, then stopped… and reached for the second radio in the charger. For some reason that caught us both completely off guard and we laughed heartily.<\/p>\n
While at the library, Aidan and Abigail participated in the Homewood spelling bee. Homewood is the homeschool association we belong to. They didn’t win, but they each survived a few rounds, did their best and were very good sports when they finally misspelled a word. It was a good, low-key way for them to be in a competition. I’m proud of them.<\/p>\n
