Happy Thursday

Owen gets to go bowling at the student union with sports camp today.

Swimming is going well. Owen, at least, is really making progress. He's much better on the crawl and floating on his back. Douglas on the other hand still won't put his head under the water, but at least he's more comfortable about the idea of getting in the water than he was before.

Douglas is having a hard time being 4.5. He had a huge fit yesterday right before swimming which actually seemed to help - he let off some steam by doing it, and behaved for a change during swimming, which was good. His friend Tobin was there too which went well - an improvement over Sun. evening at the park when he (standing on some play equipment) kicked Tobin in the nose and gave him a bloody nose. Ouch.

Dan has been working a bazillion hours as the legislative session is winding down. Last night he got home at 2 am and the night before it was 1 am. He is pretty wiped. Tonight we will see him because Owen has guitar and Dan takes him to that.

A painter came yesterday to give me an estimate on the living room, and of course one thing leads to another and now there are various other little jobs he may work on. It is never ending with this house.
