Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-14

2009-10-14 23:31 (Kristen) Liam was up early (groan), but Jamie slept until 8. I got Jamie to school without too much trouble, while Liam stayed home with his dad. It was a quiet morning with some book reading (Green train! Blue train!) before Jamie came home for lunch. I had to hand feed Liam again, as he's going through a phase where he'll only eat until the hunger pangs are gone before running off to do something more important. Jamie went back to school with John, then I went with Liam to skating. It was a better class than before (every time, a little better), but I think that Liam needs more closely fitting gloves so that he can control the glider better. I explained to him that when he hangs off the glider, he puts extra weight on it, and that makes it harder for him to push it around. He understood with a bright burst of comprehension that I hope we can translate into next week. On the bright side, he can pick himself up off the ice now with the glider's help. We came back, and found Jamie. Jamie wanted to play in the bright, cold afternoon, and we let him play for a while before finally calling time when noses were red. We went back home, did homework, ate dinner, did a little more, then went to bed around 8:50 for 20 minutes of reading before lights out. Both boys were asleep by 9:25, which was great.
