There's Something About Nathan... and Nick.


Yesterday I posted that Nathan was creeping around at lightning speeds.

Well, yesterday Nathan learned to sit up by himself. Steve and I were both looking at him and discussing how quickly he was developing, new skills popping up every day. And just then Nate rolled and sat up.

He can also clap his hands. They don't make a clapping sound or anything. In fact, I wasn't sure he knew what I was doing, so I sat across from him and clapped my hands - he clapped his. I raised my hands up, and he brought his hands out to the side. I touched the ground - he touched the ground. I clapped my hands - he clapped his hands. HE IS A GENIUS! BWAHAHA!

He also babbles as though he's speaking, although he's really only saying "dada dada dada." He prefers to be standing, even though he can't do it on his own.

Nicholas, on the other hand... has a new backpack. He has "school shoes." He is ready for school, which starts August 30th.

He also had a fever yesterday. By noon he had a fever of 101.5°F. No other symptoms, although I had nightmares about mystery infections. Food poisoning? Lingering effects from the Dog Bite? Or is it something as simple as picking up a toy at Wal-Mart? He was feverish all afternoon and all night. This morning he is back to normal. IT was just one of those freak things, and I am a dramatic worrywort.

SCHOOL?! no way, nursery school??? That's crazy. Thai staff told me I should bring Nicholas and Nathan here so they could enroll in the vocational school. learn to weave, fix a motorbike, grow vegetable gardens, etc. what do you think? (kidding)
