Just some things

*Last week I received an email about Logan's upcoming baptism and agreed to meet with the cub scout leader after church. I forgot. I then emailed the leader and apologized. She then emailed be back this message: "I heard you just moved out of the ward." What? I looked at the original email. Oops. It seems I had agreed to meet with the cub scout leader of the last ward.

*The house is a mess. . .and this time the only one I can blame it on is. . . me. After deciding that it was time to start pulling out fall clothes, I have pulled out 3-4 bins of clothes, which have been dumped out, refolded, and spread out around the entire house. There are a few things I KNOW I have for Ammon--among them a cute sweater from The Children's Place, a red Cars shirt (actually that one's for Grant), and a white t-shirt with an elephant on it--but I can't find them! I keep looking through the bins I have already gone through wondering if I somehow missed it. The next step is going through the other boxes of clothes that are packed away in the garage. I don't know why I am so stuck on these 3 items--he has plenty to wear--but it's bugging me that I KNOW they exist, I just don't know where they are!

*I forgot to mention that Madison was the student of the week during the first week of school. My girl!

*Logan can't do jumping jacks. We tried last night for about 15 minutes. Joe and I laughed pretty hard, but I think he ended up being a little embarrassed. It really is pretty cute, though. He does the entire jumping jack motion in the air and lands with his feet together.

*Grant's speech is improving by the hour! He is getting really good at starting words that have the "f" sound--fun, four, five, fish, etc. He is also getting the "oo" sound down--you and two. This sound has been the hardest one for him to make, and he is excited about it. He can also say "Darth Vador" and "Star Wars" very well. I used to worry that it would make him feel bad that we kept correcting him and asking him to say things over and over, but I think he is happy that people are starting to understand what he is saying. He will come up to us and say the words he has been working on--basically asking us to practice with him. If we don't understand him we say, "I'm sorry, I can't understand you," or "I don't know what you are saying." He then starts trying the words with different consonants in front of them because he doesn't know which one it really is... kind of funny. He goes in for another hearing test on Thurs (he's had 6-7 of these in the past 6 months). He's getting tired of the testing, even though it usually means he gets to spend the rest of the day at dad's office (I think even that is getting old). He has upper and lower level hearing loss. We are hoping they will decide on this visit to put tubes in his ears to see if it will help.
