-Sean has started saying "please" and "thank-you" unprompted! Hooray! He's received many stickers from his teacher for helping to clean up and for good listening.
-Baby Clare should be cutting her first tooth any day, I think. She's so mouthy and drooly - she goes through at least 8 bibs a day.
-Sean is becoming a whiz at counting in Spanish - he can count from uno to diez - no problemo! Although many times he skips "uno" and just starts with "dos." :-)
-The kids had a great beach day on Sunday! Aunt-Aunt Alice took the kiddies to the beach while Mommy and Daddy ran the LBI 18-miler in order to gear up for the NYC marathon. What was a nice warm day for the kids was a brutally hot and sunny race for Mommy and Daddy - but we did it!
-Pepper seems to be on the mend. He's taking his medicines faithfully and without complaint - thank goodness for peanut butter! Sean is being so nice to Pepper during his recovery - he uses nice hands without even being reminded and even sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" each night before we head upstairs to eat dinner (we have to leave Pepper downstairs since he can't use the stairs - Pepper comes back out after the kiddies have their bath and bedtime).
