small update

It feels like a long time since I've visited this blog. . . I've missed it! I don't have anything special to report just yet, just a few random pictures from the past days.

Here's Kyalo, practicing his flossing. This is a good thing, since he h.a.t.e.s to have his teeth brushed. You'd think we were washing his mouth out with soap!

he's a natural

I mentioned recently that my friend Jenny & I would begin to try out a babysitting swap, which we've done. I think it is going pretty well - of course, I've left Kyalo with her for several HOURS two different days while I went to the dentist (Dexter).  I do not recommend going to a dental student because they have to do sooo much. I had EIGHTEEN x-rays taken.  I'm pretty sure I got radiation poisoning! I'm grateful that I could leave him with someone, though.  Ellen has come here one time, and they had a nice time playing together...

and by 'playing' I mean making an utter mess of things!

I'd be glad for recommendations of things to do with them, should anyone have something that would be good. . .

Today Kyalo was able to wear a sweater that a dear friend knit for him. I can't remember now if I got it at my baby shower, or soon after he was born.  Either way, we've waited a long time for this moment.  The last time Dexter put Kyalo in it the sweater was still way too big.  Now it is perfect.

 looking like the almost-two-year-old that he is!

I love the color, too. Gorg.

Thanks, Linda, for this beautiful sweater!!

And that's that.
