Thomas is officially walking

This week we tried a few new things. Thomas is now walking the full length of the backyard and picks himself back up after a fall to walk again, so I will say he's officially walking, however it will be nice when he can walk from the car to the trolley at the shops. I've been dealing with an injured back so I'm looking forward to a time with less lifting.

Blake tried this 'kids' mini boot camp' in the park on Monday and really liked it. Since it's free and since there is a park for the little ones to play at while we wait, we decided to make it a weekly thing. We also tried Karate yesterday. After showing up, I thought he wouldn't like it as they make everyone do lots of sit ups, but despite sweating so much it fogged the mirror, he seemed to enjoy it and asked to go back. They have it three times a week so it should keep him busy for a time.

Sophie is counting down for Grammy's visit. It's her first count down. I really need a calendar with two boxes per day though, as she wants to mark one off every time she wakes up, not just in the morning. I try to explain that it's only one for every 'sun sleep', not one for every 'Sophie sleep'. Once we got under 10, she really started to understand. Today though (at number 5) was the first day she remembered the number to tell Dad when he got home.
