"Steady As He Goes..."

Hi everybody,

Thanks for checking in again.

Kyle continues to thrive here in Harleysville. He's a hit at his Goddard School...chicks dig him. Seriously, he's doing really well. He still gets a little upset when I drop him off in the morning, but his teachers say that he settles down very shortly thereafter. I stopped by this week around lunchtime to spy on him and was very happy to see that he was happily participating in a class activity. In the afternoon, he still cries a little bit when I pick him up. But as soon as I pick him up and hold him he shuts off the crying like flipping a switch!

We're really blessed that he's such a great sleeper. He goes to bed between 7:30 & 8 after his bath. After we leave him in his bedroom we just leave the door open. (He no longer cries when we leave the room.) We have a monitor and hear him taking to himself for 10-15 minutes and then he conks out. All this time we can go about our business, picking up his toys, doing the laundry downstairs, watching TV in the Family Room (with the volume at normal settings!) whatever - he hardly ever fusses. He sometimes coughs a little if he's not feeling well, but even then he usually goes right back to sleep on his own. (He does have a bit of a mischievous streak - he sometimes coughs purposely, knowing that we'll probably come in to see that he's OK; then as soon as we lean into the crib, he lets out a little giggle.) We're very lucky.

He continues to enjoy his bath time:



More to follow soon...
