:D

J is working very hard & aceing his classes so far. After a scary previous encounter with biology, in a complete turnaround he loves it now. He spent a long time on Saturday looking at many substances/items under the microscope with A, and he wants to buy a 1500x light microscope that incorporates a camera so we can study a lot more with it and take pictures for further study. A and I are very excited about this plan. :D We also spent this morning discussing possible God-directed evolution scenarios re: Adam & Eve & their immediate children & evolved hominids. I love that man.

J's mom's dog of 14 years is dying, and will be put down on his mom's birthday tomorrow if she makes it through the night. Sadness.

The girls graduated preschool! They each performed a talent. C sang her favorite Dr. Horrible song (most of the guy part of "My Eyes"). A read a story she wrote, and then sang part of another Dr. Horrible song, "Brand New Day." The first part is a fast monologue so she hummed that part.

G is now crawling, sitting, pulling himself up on furniture & people, cruising around furniture, bracing on the floor with his legs straight, and now he's letting go of things and standing for a second or three before leaning towards a person to pick him up (before he falls over). His favorite food is fresh raspberry. He now has object permanence, loves peek-a-boo, and will follow you around the house (calling, "Muh-muh!" if it's after me. He also says, "da-da" but I'm not sure if it's for J or just because it sounds fun). He also freaks out in the car a bit more because he KNOWS you're there & you're not coming to save him, WHY????!!!!!!!. Poor kid.
