Meanwhile, Luke is charging away at kindergarten. He's confessed that it is much different than preschool, but he is learning so, so much. His writing has improved dramatically in just the first 3 weeks of school, and he totally digs PE time. Here's the funniest story he's shared with me to date. We'll call the other child "Johnny."
"Mom, Johnny's breath smelled so BAD today--just like throw up."
"Hmm, maybe he forgot to brush his teeth?"
"Uh, no. It smells like throw up every day. It just changes flavors."
Then there is Dosen. Sweet, smiley Dosen. He's just charming and hilarious, but we're in the midst of rocking his world. At 15 months, he's still taking 3 bottles a day. I know that we're long past that stage, but in my opinion rules changes just a bit in adoption. It took us every minute of 3 months to get him on a good routine, and another 3 months to perfect it. He sleeps and eats so well that I've put off the weaning until now. In contrast to his carefree attitude about the mid-day switch to a sippy cup, he weeped and wailed when he realized there would be no "baba" after his bath. He downed a warm cup of milk just 20 minutes prior, but it was clearly not the same.
Also in Dosen news - he got a haircut! Here is where good mom's would insert a picture of his new do, but as any parents of 2nd children might attest to, I was not present for the cutting. Our wonderful nanny friend, Karis, took him for me. Please think before casting judgement, and if you need to re-read the above paragraphs to help you, do so now. It looks very cute and much more even. Just a few snips with the scissors (not clippers) and a gallon of pomade did the trick.
That's all for now. I've decided circus ring masters do not get paid nearly enough.

Oh man, please tell Jake we are praying for him. I've heard that kidney stones are just awful!
