An Update

Time goes by so fast, and before you know it, a whole month has passed with no posts. Oops!

Here is an update: Alex is faster and cleverer than the last time I posted, he's also bigger and--hard to believe--even cuter :-) He is a master at moving objects around the room in order to reach things that were previously out of reach. He has pulled boxes, books, even his entire toy box over to the counter so that he can reach things. But his cleverness has limits--he's tried to use the wagon that Elliot and Denise gave him for his birthday. You don't have to be a genius (just older than about 2) to know that a wagon does not make a good step stool! If it weren't for some parents who are just as fast as he is, Alex would have a few good bumps to show for all his mischief!

Other news...Alex is in a Gymboree class. We go on Saturday mornings, and it's really great. The best part is that the membership comes with "free play" times. There is about an hour free play time every day. Most days it's while we are at work and day care, but we have gone-and managed to talk Daddy into joining us!-the last two Sundays. It is really fun to follow Alex's lead in this amazing little playground set up just for the little guys--up and down slides and ramps, through tunnels, over bridges, finding hidden toys, sitting in inner tubes, and checking himself out in the mirror. By the end of the hour, we all need a nap!
