Long time, no post

Sorry for not posting recently! Things have been crazy around the house. And, really, there's not a ton to report. Here are a few highlights from the last month or so.

- Andrew calls roll every day. And by calling roll I mean he says someone's name and waits until we say where that person is. For example, Andrew will say "Ella" and we'll say "She's at home." He adds new people every few days.

- Austin's doing much better in school. We got his progress report the other day and he's progressed a lot since the fall. We're so proud of him! Austin's also reading a lot more. A few weeks ago his teacher sent home a few books with full sentences in them. He and I both opened the books and said "Wow! There are a lot of words!"

- Andrew's saying a ton of things. So many things that I can't remember them all. He knows all the names of his friends at school. He also knows more signs! He knows the sign for shoe and they are working on the sign for fish.

- Last week, Gene and Austin were in the bathroom brushing Austin's teeth. Austin asked Gene, "Daddy, why does the mirror do what I do?" After laughing a little, Gene told Austin that was what mirrors do, show people what they are doing. How do you explain reflection to an almost 6 year old?
