Where did everybody go?

First day of school
Jacob, Joseph, Mikaela, Maimie

School started with a half day Wednesday and full days on Thursday and today (except for the heat schedule). Mikaela and Jacob are at the junior high and Joseph is enjoying his first few days of "real school" at the grade school.

Maimie and I can't believe all the time we have together! Maimie has been a bit clingy and must surely be wondering where everybody has gone. She continues to ask where Daddy is several times a day and wants to "talk" (listen) to him on the phone.

Maimie continues to add new signs to her vocabulary, but few new sounds. She has started to sign "yes" and say "yea" with it. Some of her new signs include: cat (she says "meow"), dog, tree, flower, bird, water, juice, thirsty, applesauce, salon, library, car, shoes, want, wait, candy, playground, fish, ice cream. Maimie loves to help with laundry and vacuuming and wiping up spills. She often tries to help dress herself and helps put her lotion on. She gets excited about making her own food choices, eating ice cream, and getting her toenails painted.
