The Middle Chapters

D started a new job today. It is one that he seems to like, has a killer commute, and is more money than his last job. This seems to have worked pretty well. It was great having him home these past almost 3 weeks; although a fair bit of it was spent interviewing and preparing to interview and the last week Bacon and I were sick. We had good family fun last week and Bacon and I both had good birthdays (2 and 41).

A, who will now be Apple, still strongly dislikes the car, which makes any trip of any distance without an adult sitting in the backseat entertaining him less than pleasant. He rolled back to front for the 1st time on Thursday and front to back for the 1st time on Saturday. Bacon started using the potty last week and now likes to strip down to nothing at various random times through the day. So far (luckily) this only happens at home.

My first home alone with the kids today went well. We joined L and S at the playground this afternoon and had a great time (after we got out of the car). I still can't wait until Apple can sit up or spend more than 10 minutes on his own, but we're getting there.
