Catherine

My friend Catherine came up today to work on recommendations for students with me. I told her I would help her write them since we had all the same students. Catherine has become a really good friend over the past year. It's also good to talk with her about ICHS and get perspective on it when I start feeling nostalgic.

Merryn was obsessed with my yellow dress today. Before her nap she was standing next to the closet wrapping the ties of the dress around her. I told her she had to go to sleep, so, with the ties wrapped around her she leaned against the closet door and pretended to start snoring. Finally I told her she could snuggle with the dress while she took her nap. She said several full, grammatically logical sentences today with subject, verb, and object: Me climb table again. Daddy put baby up here. 

James did not sleep. For the entire day. Not one nap. We need to get that boy on a schedule. Although if this means he sleeps more tonight, that is fine with me.

I have talked with Catherine a lot about JJ, so I was glad she was here to witness a nice day with him. And he was engaged in conversation with her, which I really appreciated.
