Gross

Xander jokingly said "eat poop?" today and I adamantly explained that you never, ever eat poop because it will make your tummy hurt. This news seemed to really upset him and he's been talking about it ever since.

Mystery sprouts

Last week we were at Barefoot Books on earth day. I picked up this great book for Xan and also tried to get this one, but they were all out. Because it was earth day, they had potting soil and seeds for kids to plant. Xan and I planted a couple and have enjoyed watching them sprout. However, we have yet to figure out what they are, since it was hectic while we were there and I neglected to ask. I'd post a picture, but the new camera is still on the way.

Counting

Pointing to my dirty feet: "Two dirts. One." (points to my heel) "Two." (points to the ball of my foot)

Birthday Lunch

We got veggie burgers with our friend, and Bill's officemate, Jiandi. He was kind enough to bring his camera, so the blog might have pictures again for a couple days. And now to go research which camera to get, something I've been procrasting on for way too long.

Note to Xander

Dramatically throwing yourself down on the floor is slightly less dramatic when you cautiously lower yourself the last half of the way down so you don't bonk your head on the floor too hard.

To everyone else: he's started jumping! About a week and a half or two weeks ago he was able to consistently get airborne while holding on to a piece of furniture, and has been able to do it freestanding since last week. He is hilariously spazzy about it. He lands on his heels with his knees locked and often stumbles because of that. Unfortunately I can't get it on film because our camera was stolen AGAIN. So pictures will be light until I can do some research about what to get and order a new one.
