conversation

The week of August 19th, Caden practiced standing without holding onto anything, and he also started to show us that he has some climbing skills. I think we have another monkey on our hands!

Zane was being a big helper that week at school for a few of his friends, and I got a few cute stories from his teacher. One friend was having a particularly hard time because she was just transitioning into their class, and Zane told her "it will be ok," with a few sweet shoulder pats. He helped her learn some of the routines for his class. Then another of his friends was making some bad choices and having a chat with a teacher about it, and when he lost focus, Zane reminded him, "you're having a conversation." I thought that was a good one, and I keep trying it out when Zane and I have talks about his bad choices, but it never seems to be very effective. Funny how that works!


Caden had a follow up ear check scheduled for Friday, but when I got a text that he woke up really early from nap with a fever on Wednesday, it got bumped up to that afternoon. He did have an ear infection. I stayed home with him on Thursday, and then Friday I worked from home while a back up care nanny kept Caden entertained. Thankfully, his fever finally broke on Friday, and we had a low key Saturday planned with just Zane's soccer class in the morning. On Sunday, we met some friends at a playground before going to brunch with some other friends. And here's one more gorgeous sunset to finish up with:
