Well I’d forgotten it had been such a long time since our last entry so apologies for leaving it so long.
Important stuff first, baby 3 is doing
very well indeed. I mentioned that Jessica had schemed up a baby pool
and the first results can be revealed - Ryan will have a sister, which
he’s delighted about and is already planning on showing her Angry Birds,
Rescue Bots and how to avoid eating anything remotely healthy. We had
to explain that for the first year or so she’s going to be a lump but I
rather feel that will only become apparent to him once she gets here.
All relevant data on B3 is good,
nothing to be overtly concerned about and after 1 or 2 nasty moments
including a necessary trip down a very snowy road to get a check up just
because the doppler wasn’t behaving I think we’re settled in for the
long run now. No info on names at this stage, though I think we’ve
plumped for a decisive selection which Jessica is busily assuring
relatives will be on the lines of “Prudence Clementine”.......
As for Ryan, he’s doing rather well as
well, his speech is still a work in progress, but after nearly 3 years
we’ve almost cracked the real back of it, though he’s still a little
troubled by a few combinations.
His swimming is still inching along,
he’s now confident enough to go underwater on his terms which scares
Jessica because he tends to stay down quite some time. As it’s the
summer his new adventure is T-Ball which has already provided some fun
in his training sessions, as the youngest there, Ryan has already got
the coach’s mental label of “most likely to not pay attention” but he
did show progress by session 2 and that’s good, next stop is hitting the
ball and running - something the Nationals could also practice if Game 1
is the season mantra.
By the way this is an odd time for an
entry and it’s because I’m waiting on my company to update data in our
accounting system to allow us to invoice - so far we’re likely to lose 7
billing days out of the 20 initially scheduled, of course the work load
won’t decrease so it’s a fair bet that a> weekends will be less at
home than usual & b> Overtime is going to be in play - woohoo!
That’s useful because we had to get
the car inspected/emission passed last month and it turned out a sensor
had gone to shit, and the 30 mins taken to replace it would be $75 and
the $225 for the part made it pricey. Fortunately the screw in the rear
tire was repairable and the intermittent light cluster issue resolved
itself just in time to get a ‘pass’. Factor in the $125 for the license
plate (worth it without question) and some lingering health costs, it’s
a very expensive month or 2 for us.
Never mind, birthdays coming up and one of us has a “Biggie”.
It’s Ryan of course, where has that sweet little boy from the photo gone? Answers on a postcard to:
Did he get swapped at 18 months?
C/O Jessica.
Thanks
J, J, R & B3.
