March Update

Daylight Savings Time.  Springing ahead.  How do you explain this to kids like Isaac and Eli?  You don't, I decided.  Just change all the clocks when they're not looking and they'll be none the wiser, right?  I didn't want to get into a discussion about it, lest they think they can just change the time whenever it suited them.  Apparently their internal clocks are firmly set, as they figured out something was fishy Monday morning when I insisted they get out of bed when it was still dark.  "Early!  Early!"  I kept pointing to the clock, insisting it was time to wake up.  "No, early!  Early!"  Again at bedtime.  "No bed.  Early!" they said, pointing to the sky.  Sigh.  Can't slip anything past these guys. 

You may know that Elijah has had a lot of dental work done over the last two months.  A LOT.  He rarely complains about pain after a procedure ("No medicine.  It's good!") and overall seems to be more alert and focused.  He's joking around, picking up on math much faster than he was just a couple of weeks ago, and is as happy as can be.  Poor baby must have been living with some severe mouth pain.     Now that this chronic pain is finally being lifted, we are seeing the REAL Elijah.

These boys are still filled with so much joy.  I got up the courage yesterday to take them to Target.  You've never seen eyes so wide.  "America good!  I love America!  GOOD store!"  They took turns pushing around a shopping cart.  They had their first experience with a dressing room.  Everything was so exciting!  OHH, the things we take for granted.

Isaac keeps saying he loves summer and can't wait for it to get hot.  All I can do is laugh.  Remind me to follow up here in August.
