This morning...

Alex says to me,"Mom, I don't like you." But a couple seconds later, dead serious,"I do love you though." Thanks Buddy! We just got his preschool pictures back yesterday. So. Dang. CUTE! We found Anthony's old Batman costume on Sunday and I think he wore it all the way until Tuesday. Alex is enamored with super heroes right now and still dutifully follows Anthony's lead on anything and everything. He has now been crawling into our bed in the middle of the night recently. Even though he is a heater I like being close to him.

Talia is now smiling extra big all the time. Not just the half crook smile, but the entire face smile. She talks a lot, has a raspy laugh, and is very spoiled. She is content on her own for awhile but then calls for one of us to come to talk to her. We are grateful that she is sleeping consistently 10-5 now. The world is back to looking more vivid again, the gray has faded with the more sleep I get.

Anthony had conferences on Monday...but I forgot about them. So we rescheduled for Tuesday-I was so embarrassed. Mrs. Dahl assured me that 3 others had forgotten too, is this the truth or just to make me feel better? I ran into Mrs. Englund, Anthony's 1st grade teacher and made her promise to tell Mrs. Dahl that I am not a flake. Hopefully she believes that. Regardless, his conferences went great! He is testing above average in all subjects, he has a problem with chit chatting now and then (no idea where he gets that), and likes to get chased by the girls at recess. She said that he is very easy going and social, gets along well with others. I was very pleased with the overall meeting, but girl chasing...already? I am not ready for that.
