Greetings!Elsa and Jonas had another great week! In what is quickly becoming a favorite day trip, we took Jonas and Elsa to the zoo to see the budgies. As per the norm, the kids seemed a little more interest in the action of the people at the zoo than the animals but this changed once we entered the budgie cage with a feed stick. Jonas was actively trying to grab the parakeet and was nearly successful. Birds careened through the branches down towards us and Elsa seemed to enjoy them too!
We also had a chance to get together with our other most favorite December baby and let the kids play for several hours. What fun! It was sweet to see the three kids running and playing and laughing! Elsa's boyfriend loved to call out her name and she blew him kisses. We will monitor the situation. Jonas ate more than we have ever seen while over at our friends house--he just kept going and going. WOW! It was really neat to see the kids playing and learn about sharing. The three had a blast together.
During the week we had a visit from Mari's dear friend who just had a baby girl! Jonas and Elsa were quite taken by the pea pod and tried desperately to wake her during the entire visit. It was strange to realize that our kids are toddlers and not tiny babies anymore! Way to go Jonas and Elsa!
Dan has returned to a gradual work schedule leading up to the start of school. Mari is preparing for the transition to having one adult during breakfast and lunch again. Food fights may be in the future.
We have a follow-up appointment with Elsa's GI specialist to monitor her weight and we are hopeful for a good appointment.
