We brainwash young

Part of the joy of getting Nathan new clothes (in 6-9m size now!) at the second-hand shop was finding two Red Sox t-shirts that fit. Here he is, sporting it for the first time. This was just after clean-up of a blow-up and -out of Pampers, so the changing pad cover hadn't been replaced, yet.


Logan was thrilled to receive a custom-made sweater from Grandma. Truth be told, he was just as excited about the little candy hearts with the words on them.


Logan's been taking ice skating lessons at the local hockey rink. His goal right now is to learn to skate well enough he can learn hockey. This past lesson, each of the kids had a turn to get up in front of all the other students (4 skill levels) to show off their new moves. Each kid had to do what the others had done before them, plus their own twist. Logan was third, so he started with "march march march, swizzle, then my super fast tight turn!" He was awesome, and his turn was indeed, tight.

All he needs for Christmas is...

Two front teeth!

After two weeks of snaggletooth, it finally came out. The second front tooth took to hanging diagonally in the extra space provided by the first tooth coming out.

We went for my glucose test this morning. Logan finished his handwriting and math before we went, and then we packed up his math game, letter and word cards, and all the reading we had to do for the day and off we went. He did math while we waited to register. We read a book about measuring time while we waited for the nasty orange drink. He watched as a vile of blood was drawn. He read to me while we waited for an hour to go by, and we read a chapter in Charlotte's Web. Then a surprise! Mommy needed a shot to counteract the Rh- issue, so upstairs to the birthing center we went (I knew I needed it, but I didn't realize it would be today). Logan figured at this time that he was having a much better day than I was, with two needles so far and one more to go. He made words with his letter cards and got a Curious George story, and then finally we were done.

We tried LL Bean for slippers for him, but the small "outlet" store only has the back to school stuff out, not the winter stuff, except for a few snow-pants and parkas. We measured his feet (size 13, but boots will have to be a 1), and then came home.

Yesterday, we went to Geography club for 6 - 8 year old home-schoolers. I was disappointed to find all girls there, but we'll try it for another few meetings. They won't have any meetings in January, which is perfect for us!

I'm having a terrible time getting photos in today. I have a little card full of pictures, but my computer is ignoring it, and won't acknowledge its presence. ugh, later, then. The peaches are calling. Must process before fruit flies hear of the bounty.
