I would be remiss if I did not recount some of the impressive advances that my 2 children made this past week. It's so easy to focus on the "dailyness" of life and forget about the milestones kids reach each day.
Sam, our 12-month old, is now really starting to explore and interact with his world. His first clearly spoken word was said last Tuesday...he said "Daddy". (I was not there to witness the event, but both witnesses confirmed it was clearly "Daddy" and not "Mama".) He also developed more skill at rolling the ball back and forth with us. Today he learned to give us "5" and was very proud of himself. Another highlight was dropping him off at the church nursery this morning without him having a tearful meltdown!
Kate, now almost 3, was not to be outdone. She counts to 10 in Chinese quite well and can now recite the Greek alphabet with minimal help. She also graduated to a "big girl bed" on Saturday night. She was a bit concerned when we first laid her down, but when we checked in on her about an hour later, we found her curled up asleep with several stuffed animals, blankets and a number of her books. Today when we picked Kate up from her class at church she cheerfully announced she had fun in class. We asked her what she did in church and her activities included "playing ousside, playing bassetball and eating goldfishies". She seems to enjoy this type of spiritual formation.
So we celebrate their development and look forward to next week!
