Well, folks - our computer is having issues. It's always been a little persnickety - now it's just getting worse. Trying to upload summer/vacation pictures locks up the computer. I wish it were as easy as "hey, let's just buy a new computer this week" - but who can afford that?
So, I'm left without sharing pictures of Matthew with G'ma and G'pa H. and E.; his first day of preschool this year; his love of our tire swing and such.
He's getting to be such a big boy - his teacher and our neighbors have noticed - among others. It's fun to see his growing competence in litte things - like getting dressed, going to the bathroom without moral support, taking initiative for little things we require him to do.... Matthew does not sleep at nap time most days - but at least he has some quiet time(and I have some, too). He is becoming more imaginative, too. That is fun to see.
Of course, I should not be surprised that he has a major cold this week - last week was his first week at preschool - but, I am. I am really hoping that this is a better school year - health wise. The last academic year was a rough one for both of us. At least one cold a month is not very fun. Somehow, Mark came out pretty unscathed from all of this - I am grateful for that, considering the fact that he gets by on less sleep than any of us.
