Here it goes...




Okay, we are trying to enter the modern world of blogging, and will try to use this instead of the other website. If I can figure out how to move the content of that webpage here, that would be nice.. but let's not be toooo ambitious today: I'm just starting!

It's been a long while, and there is probably much to update, but here are some recent updates. Vasco was discharged from the Developmental Clinic this Monday, as he did fantastically during his latest appointment: he even did things I had no idea he knew, like pick out the one shape in a pattern that didn't match the rest (upside down triangle, sideways square), and judge who had more blocks. "Chatterbug", as he is nicknamed in daycare, is super smart. We've taught him to say "I want to go to Harvard" (heeee heeee, I can't wait to get my "Harvard Mom" sweatshirt).

Their current most favorite books are by Dr. Seuss, which they practically know by heart, ("Big F, little F, what begins with F: four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer feff"!!! can't believe they can actually pronounce that!) and a random book that we got from the doctor's office when we went for Vasco's developmental appointment, called "Oops sorry", and is a book about manners. Their favorite page is the one where the baby ... well, it's described as making "rude noises" :)


Oh, yes, and there is Winnie the Pooh, and Piglet (which both kids pronounce "Piglick" which makes us laugh every time!), and Tigger, and Kanga, and Roo! The newest favoritist friends. This morning we marched to the daycare from the car, through the hallways, singing "Hey ho! For the life of the Bear, Hey Ho! for the expedition" (which of course, is the expedition song from the movie). And if this wasn't entertaining enough to picture, picture this as part of our "parade": Justine is carrying a teddy bear in a bridal outfit (not too bad), and Vasco is carrying a purple bouncy ball, a Spiderman doll, and... Spiderman underwear (yes, not on his bum, but in his hands).


Good night to all!
