A long overdue update.

Where to begin after such a long pause between posts? Pardon the randomness of the following stuff.

Speech therapy is under way for both Little Boy and Little Girl. After Little Boy’s session yesterday, B. reported back that he was spouting words left and right. At home? Not so much. I don’t know if Little Boy is trying to impress his rather attractive therapist or what, but it’s frustrating that he’s using words in some places and not in others. I can’t honestly say that we’re noticing any major progress, but it’s still early. The best part about the process has been the one-on-one time I’ve gotten to spend with each child. I think we need to make that a regular part of our lives.

After a loooooong August, preschool is finally back in session. I like the new school Little Boy and Little Girl are attending much more than where they were earlier this year. The transition has been relatively smooth for them, thankfully.

A lot of the parents at the new school seem like people I’d like to get to know better. I’ve been having fantasies about making friends with people who, a: live in the neighborhood, b: have similar age children, c: drink alcohol & like good food, d: want to be friends with me. Is that so much to ask? Time will tell. I’ve been trying to be more outgoing than I usually am. Hope I’m not coming across like a desperate loser. “Be my friend? Please?”

B. is leaving today for a month. His travel gets harder on the kids as they get older. I know B. hates it too. Maybe someday his job won’t entail so much travel. We’ll manage in the meanwhile.
