We've almost made it through another winter. Our family has had fun sledding, cross country skiing, and Mark even got to board and snowmobile a couple of times. We are very excited for warmer weather, though. Timmy keeps asking when we can put the tramp up. I told him that the snow has to be gone. So on several occasions, with an excited voice, he's pointed out that the snow is gone. But it's spring in Utah, so that doesn't mean it won't be here tomorrow morning.
The boys are doing well in school. Noah was excited to finish passing off his times tables a few weeks ago. Ben is making friends, and stretching socially, which we are excited about. They both were recognized in the awards assembly in January. Noah got an outstanding science award, and Ben got a Cool Cat award.
Noah is practising his skills for the circus.
Benjamin lost his first tooth last week. He's good about not wiggling it in school (yuck, the germs), but that means it hung out a lot longer in his mouth than it should. He was eating waffles and it came out. He was a little surprised and unsure about the whole thing, but was excited for the tooth fairy.
Timmy is getting over double ear infections, and then on top of it got the horrible cough that's going around. Poor kid, the other boys didn't have it as bad. He cannot stop coughing. It's been pretty constant since last night. I gave him a popsicle a while ago and it was the most quiet he has been all morning. But in spite of it, he's happy and cute. It's probably nothing compared to the ears he delt with last week.
