Another little family update. Week two for Arlo in his new school. It's been a short week since we had the labor day holiday and a visit to the dentist. He's still unhappy when I drop him off but the teachers report he gets over it pretty quickly once I am out of sight. By the time Sam gets there to pick him up he's perfectly happy and engaged - Dad's appearances at the door are like a happy surprise every time.
The dentist visit is a follow up to his first visit. He's unfortunately got several cavities. In retrospect, our liberal use of milk at bedtime (after brushing teeth) has come back to bite us (haha). Even though we never give him candy, don't do lots of sweets, and diluted the juices, we weren't as diligent as we should've been with brushing. We're sad about him having to go through this experience at the dentist so early in life.
Magnus is really gaining ground. He's "speed crawling", cruising, and really into throwing things - balls, bottles, blocks, and whatever he can get his hands on. When he wants something he'll race over, grunting away, with the most focused look of intent you ever saw on a baby. This is especially true when he wants mom or dad - he races over and yells at you to pick him up. Determined little red.
Sam's on the final countdown - just over two weeks - to his first triathalon. It's a sprint race called "Chesapeake Man" and he's been working hard getting ready for it. He's pretty determined too - I envy his dedication to preparing, and how motivated he is by this new pasttime.
Me? Just working away, lamenting the fact that the pool closed for the summer, but getting excited for the cooler weather, halloween, and fall birthdays. Hope you're all enjoying the first taste of fall where you are!
