This week, when I have arrived at the school to get TheBubster I have found her sword fighting with a trio of ten year old boys, playing and winning at Go with a 17 year old girl, and lining up cardboard houses to play solo in the hallway with some dolls made out of wire. Tomorrow there are plans for an ice skating expedition. Yesterday, Bud was a model, literally he was a model. He went to an advertising agency, and sat in front of a photographer and had his picture taken. Afterwards the Art Director informed me that nearly every frame take of him was usable. He’s such a happy and well adjusted baby.

At home, the kids love to play together and frequently soak the floor of the bathroom during bath time. Yesterday, they were expressing displeasure at how hot the bath water was, until I dumped a whole tray of ice cubes into the water for them to play with. That totally changed everything as the toys suddenly had to avoid icebergs and glaciers. Yes, TheBubster called them that. Her vocabulary has exploded during the short amount of time at this new school. Her understanding of things is increasing rapidly as well, but her ability to focus or tune out the rest of the world remains unchallenged.
