Grass

Oddly enough, the areas around me are starting to grow grass. Now, that sounds odd -- but unless you water it twice a day, no grass grows here. In neighborhoods green is a popular color. The regular landscape, however, is mostly brown. BUT, we've had a little rain - so now everything is starting to look green! It's really quite interesting.

What is NOT interesting, however, is the preschool search. Thing 1 attends the most wonderful school, Ms. Lynda's Learning Tree. But, Ms. Lynda has been in the hospital since before Christmas with awful, terrible pneumonia. She's doing better (that doesn't take much) but is still in bad shape and is not going to be home until at least the end of the week. So...we're trying to find a new school for the interim.

A popular (and huge) Christian Church around here has a large preschool. We're going to tour it tomorrow. We'll see how that goes, but Thing 2 needs school. (Even though he's very good and working well with me here)

The baby had his 2 month check up. I deferred his shots -- not doing those yet. BUT, we did do all of the regular things that they do at well baby checks -- including checking his WEIGHT and HEIGHT. He's now 13 pounds and 8 ounces and 23.25 inches. That is a 6 pound increase and a 4.25 growth in height! Way to grow. (But, now, stop. I don't want to see you in a wink of the eye at 4 years old. I want you to stay just as you are.)
