Took the kids to their first airshow. They really had a good time, and were not scared by the loud noises. Of course we stayed in a quieter area, but were right up by the runway.

Adam: Up – Neigh! (Pick me up and bounce me on your knee like a horse)
Me: No neigh. Mama needs to go shower.
Adam: Mama wok ? (Mama work?)
Me: Yep, after I shower I am going to work.
Adam: Dada go wok. (Dada went to work.)
Me: Yep Dada went to wok … I mean work.
Tonight at dinner Adam was sitting strapped into his booster seat and he pushed off of the table with his feet and went over backwards. He hit the floor pretty hard and cried but didn’t do much obvious damage. He was back to normal after a couple minutes. I tried to put him into his old highchair for the remainder of his dinner but he thrashed and kicked his plate full of food onto the floor. So I told him it’s the highchair or no more dinner (his favorite thing in the whole world - hot dogs) and he came around and asked to be put in the highchair. I don’t know why Adam is always the one with the injuries. Claire is generally more active and just as daring, if not more daring, but all the big booms happen to Adam. So I am on head trauma watch again for the next 24 hrs or so.
The kids are really understanding, speaking and learning so much more everyday. Adam is starting to repeat everything I say. We went to the mailbox today and he was saying ‘mailbox’ for the next couple hours. We spent some time counting to five in french and they both got it very quickly. It’s so fun to see them thinking and figuring things out. Physically I’m exausted. They run everywhere and are very active. when it was time to leave the library today I had to chase down Claire while carrying Adam because she was running away from me. She thinks this is a great game. Time to check on Adam and then go to bed.
