Its October

Daron is 9.  Funny and 9.  And smart. And so funny- snarky really.  He is enjoying 3rd grade so far, he and Ian are still close as ever and he got that crazy flying fish from Caleb and Stephanie for his birthday.

Ian is in E2K, got accepted to a special science and math and made the Yavneh hockey team!  We are so excited, probably more than he is. We did just miss his first TABC hockey game tonight.

Dorothy is making some new friends at school. Her biggest fears are lunch (how could I give her things like pancakes and cereal in a bag for lunch- those are breakfast foods!- and the laughing boy - a mysteriuos kid who laughed at her at lunch? but he's handsome? not sure).  Also walking down the hall after the bus.  A teacher named Victoria seems to have been assigned to get Dorothy to and from the bus.

Stella.  Bella. Stella Bella. Bells, or per Ian .. "fleishnik" -- the bookends are adorable buddies.  A lot of the time, she prefers to the kids to us. She has said versions of "E" "Daden" and "Darty" before "mommy" although today I am "Mamey" -- she also says eyes, ears, nose, belly - or can point to them and head and diaper and her vocabulary is really growing! Except when Ian reads books to her in a jibberish that sounds like Russian and always includes "chicken flakes".

I am in a whole foods phase for the past few months. It should probably be noted.
