All of a sudden it’s cold! Husband went to leave for work this morning and nearly slipped on ice outside our front door. Ice? Wasn’t it just a balmy fall yesterday? Seems winter is here already.

Time is racing on in every way. Morgan keeps growing and is staying awake longer and longer during the days, being more interactive and interested in exploring her world. I put a yoga mat on the floor next to my desk so she can scoot around while I keep an eye on her. Alex keeps using more complex sentences and expressing more sophisticated ideas. Her ability to communicate has leaped ahead, and she’s reading parts of her Dr. Seuss books by herself. “By selfs” is her new phrase for everything. “No help. I do it by selfs.”

Got a good start on Djinn yesterday, hoping for more good words today. But if not, bad words will do! There’s always rewrites. Happy Monday to everybody and if it’s icy where you are, step carefully.
