Odds and Ends
Musa discoered an old 5th grade math testbook and is having fun working his way through the problems. It has been a fabulous confidence booster as he finds he knows much more math than he thought. He has even set up a math journal and is happily tracking his progress.
Retta is enjoying the return of her bed. She has recently been fascinated with the birth process. She watches all the "baby-story" shows on TV, asks several times a day if I will tell her birth story. We have a friend who is a doula-when Retta found out she was ecstatic. She is planning an upcoming interview. We are headed to the library to check out some new books and videos about birth.
A few weeks ago we all went to a working dog show, put on by Fidos for Freedom. They are an all volunteer organization that trains and provides hearing a mobility dogs. We discovered that I do qualify for a mobility dog and will look toward that in the future. The volunteers spent some time during the presentation shwing how they train the dogs. Musa is convinced that he can train Elwood to be a mobility assistant. He is working hard on the training but so far Elwood is not looking too promising. Bella just shows up for the treats, we have to keep telling her she is not part of the training group!!
We are all slowly recovering from our house guests and viral illnesses. The last week of Amy and Emily's visit we all ended up in various stages of URI or GI illness. I am glad to be leaving it all behind.
