Toddler exhaustion

In the car on the way home this afternoon, Douglas counted to twenty.

Me: And what comes next?
Douglas: (with irritation in his voice) I'm not going to do the rest.

So far the start of school has gone well for both of them. Douglas is moving over to the "big kids' side" at preschool and visited over there today. So far, so good. Owen seems to be doing well also.

Apparently Owen's best buddy may be moving to the house at the end of our street (his mother is moving out with the kids). He would be thrilled about that.

John Edwards apparently has a "team" (consisting, I believe, of one person) here in Davis. We could join, although I'm not sure we're ready to commit yet.
