Dylan has had a rough day. Started this morning when Sophia deliberately pushed him down 4 steps from the kitchen to back door while he was on his truck. I am not sure where all this aggression is coming from in Sophia and need to figure out how to get her to be more gentle with her brother and well, others. Anyway, he ended up with a banged up face. Then after dinner he was running around and tripped and cut his lip with his teeth. OUCH! He is such a trooper that he didn't cry for long at either incident.
We split up the kids late afternoon as we had two birthday party invites. Sophia and Ethan hit Paula's 7th b-day party at a gymnastics club and D and I went to Alba's 1st b-day party here in Quincy. Sophia is still in her shell and has difficulty participating in activities with other kids. I have been feeling guilty about having her in "school" lately as she has been crying when I leave, but then when she is in these situations, I get frustrated as to what I can do to get her more comfortable with other kids. Hmmmm.
Reading to Dylan at night has been fun (more fun) the last couple nights. He has been quite interested in the alphabet. I started by putting his finger on each letter as I sang it. He found this fun and would hold his hand out each time to get me to do it. Then the last couple nights he has been repeating back about half the letters and really seeming to like this exercise. What a little smarty pants!
