Happy siblings


Avery

- wrote on the Thankful poster at preschool by drawing a hotdog and scribbling next to it.  He said the scribble was his “name in Japanese”.
- likes to draw restaurant menus, label prices (he is learning to write numbers in school) and draw the food items.  His restaurant sells apples, ice cream and popcorn.  He said that mommy and daddy are his workers.
- likes to put “Halloween spice” (nutmeg) in his yogurt.
- doesn’t like sour tastes and refused sour gummie treats at snacktime.
- saw his preschool teacher at the church library, kissed her hand, gave her a hug, and said “Oh, I just love you”.  (He is still very sweet and expresses it physically and verbally.)


Aileen

- just turned 9 months old
- starting to get up on her hands and knees to rock back and forth and grab at things
- rather than just grabbing at things like typical babies, Aileen will notice and study small details (like logos, shirt tags, small labels) and cautiously touch them with her pointer finger first.
- takes her socks off as soon as we put her in the van.
