Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-15

2009-10-15 22:47 (Kristen) I'm knitting a sweater for Liam that was (although I did not share this information) originally going to be for Jamie but he grew after I'd started it a year or two ago. Liam is excited that I'm knitting him a sweater. Jamie is wondering where the hell his sweater is, and has been asking me as often as Liam has (frequently) about *his* sweater, and when will I knit him one? I have chosen a design, and will be going to buy wool soon. I will have to knit the sweaters in parallel, however, so that both boys can see that they are both getting sweaters, and that I love them equally as a result. Jeez.

Liam had a rough start to the morning, but was happy to be at Hakobune by the end and reading books about Japanese superheroines. Jamie seems to have also had a good day at school, but has been having some friction with a girl named Kendra. I've told him that he doesn't have to like her, but he does have to be polite, and that other people can learn by example. He has a dim view of this girl's ability to do so, but I'm not big on the impolite. Jake and Dylan came by for dinner, and much discussion of Pokemon cards was had. The evening was eaten up largely by homework, but I was happy that Jamie's reading speed has once again improved if a) he isn't tired and b) is focussing. Liam did some work while Jamie was doing his homework, which was good, and both boys were happy and excited to have two books before bedtime. Today's first was Liam falling asleep with John while I was still in the room. Yay, Liam! Yay, John!
