Mid March Update

Spring at last! Hope is getting good at drawing circles, and has started adding eyes, a mouth, and sometimes arms (though it generally looks like tumbleweed).

Zane pulls himself up and stands reliably on all kinds of surfaces now. He's doing a little "cruising" but still gets stranded occasionally and needs a rescue. Hope, who could be helpful in this regard, seems instead to take pleasure in knocking him down. At least sometimes she remembers to say she's sorry.

I am working on spiffing up the house and garden, growing my hair back out, and recently started baking artisan bread in five minutes a day. Also starting to line up 3-day-a-week co-op playschool for Hope, and researching private preschools for when she qualifies. The best have years-long wait lists, so I'm adding Zane in as well. Getting optimistic that full nights of sleep are near, as they now happen occasionally. Even starting to think about generating some income of my own. Everything is even keel for B, as usual. No complaints.

PS: How cute is the back of Zane's head? SO CUTE!
