Well, it's been a while but Marlon is finally home and so we have gone back to being a dual-parent household, thank goodness. We considered having me go over there for part of the trip but I didn't want to be away from Maggie. And part of it is definitely not family vacation material, since he went to go stay at a small remote village for a week where apparently all the buildings are decrepit and the water and electricity are constantly being shut off. In fact I think I probably would have run away screaming in less than a day.
Anyway, Sydney started 3rd grade last week at her new school. She was super excited to get a locker, and to also carry around real school supplies such as a binder, folders, notebooks, etc rather than just the one folder that contained all her necessities for 2nd grade. She has this enormous binder with a zipper and a shoulder strap that you can literally your lunch bag in. I thought it was overkill (after all, thinking of the adult equivalent here, don't you want the smallest lightest laptop/tablet possible?) and the zipper was poorly constructed and really a pain to open and close but I couldn't kill her excitement.
Maggie is now getting into even more things, opening and closing cabinets, shutting the door to her room, pulling lots of tissues from the tissue box. She doesn't walk yet (just cruises) but her crawling is pretty fast these days. It seems to be the fastest when she sees me pull out a bag of Cheerios. She no longer eats everything I give her and has started spitting things out a lot. In fact, she even feeds herself food and then spits it out (for fun? because she can't remember if it is something she likes or not?).
