Life is gentle, II
I posted something similar a while back.
1.) Ted got employee of the year for his company this year.
2.) Theo's favorite toy so far that he got for Christmas is the Martian Matter Alien Maker, which allows him to be creative and even a little bit messy.
3.) Band practice! There are so many levels to this one. First, I have always wanted to play in a band, and who knew that all of my uncles have also wanted to do this, and put together, we happen to have a drummer, bassist, lead guitar, and rhythm guitar/keyboards, as well as someone who knows how to plug all the equipment together? And then, since we practice so often, our families are finally getting to know each other. Which means that Ruby now plays dress up and dolls with my cousin Tim, and all the boys--Alex, Arikha,Mikas, and Theo--spent nearly three hours last night making Martian Matter Aliens.
4.) The picture frames are finally up. I learned how to arrange them by looking at the Martha Stewart website. Both my mom and my aunt said they're going to try to do something similar to their house.
5.) Pauline is our daycare provider and the kids are so happy and loved there.
6.) Theo got all I's on his 1st kindergarten report card. (I is for independent.) He was also invited to participate in a special reading group that is the kindergarten equivalent to GT. I remember when he was six months old, and we read Guess How Much I Love You to him, and even then he looked like he was listening and figuring out the pictures.
7.) Sarah Rose Gifford (our niece) was born on Christmas day and both mom and baby are healthy.
8.) When Ruby plays with her dolls, she often demonstrates what things that Dad and I have done for her that she really appreciates.
9.) I have a job working in a walk-in clinic, and it's a long story but I have no doubt that my working there was organized by God. It was the exact job I needed for the situation I was in.
10.) Ruby's hair is so curly! It's my dream come true!
11.) The kids are very helpful with the laundry. They can fold their own clothes and put them away sorted. Also, Theo can put away kitchen and bath towels, and I don't even need to tell him what to do--he just walks by, looks at the various piles, and decides which ones he can put away. Finally, Ruby and Theo can fold large blankets using teamwork.
12.) Two days ago, Theo was peeling a clementine, and Ruby came up to him and said, "I want some! Kuya I want some!" and without a word, he gave her half.
13.) Every night Ruby asks me to rub her back. One night, I was laying down next to her with my eyes closed, and I thought she was just about sleeping, when she lifted her head, and started rubbing my back. When she was done, she put her arm around my back and went to sleep.
