praise: the husband's stitches (or as the son calls them - spaghetti) were able to be taken out tonight and the cut has healed well.
prayer: my parents are grounded in florida and my brother is "locked in" his dorm room because of jeanne. pray that my parents flight for tomorrow night won't be postponed for a second time.
playfulness: we were commenting that the daughter should have a four month birthday party today. the son decided we should have a birthday party tonight. so, we had our planned meal but called it the party. one problem, the son kept saying "i want my birthday party" to the point of crying out of frustration. now, two hours later, we have yet to figure out what his "birthday party" is. it obviously wasn't what we were thinking. thankfully, he went to bed-maybe he'll forget about it tonight. we've met with a few of these language barriers this week. generally, they either get figured out or overlooked, but this was an intense one. the husband and i even asked him to show us his "birthday party" and asked him many questions to try to figure it out. maybe someday.
the daughter seems to be in the starting stages of getting her first two teeth. her gums are swollen (looks like blisters) and she's been crankier than her usual good natured self.
today, when i peeked in on the son in his ss class, he saw me. after i left, i was told that he said repetitively "that's my mommy." i'm proud of him that he did not cry as some would.
the son received a "laptop" today. really, it's an old magnetic board that opens up like a laptop (hence the new name). it has two sets of alphabet letters and a set of numbers in it. he has thoroughly enjoyed the "new" toy, along with the (new to him) sesame street colorform set.
