week end

The kids have both shot up in size over the past few weeks. Tristan had the first major growth spurt I've noticed since he was about a year old: he's suddenly outgrown his 3T pants and has shot up to 35 lbs (up from 32 just three weeks ago). Eleanor's just turned 9 months old (ack!) and is up to 17.5; she'll be needing a new carseat quite soon.

We went and checked out a Mother's Day Out program and a Pre-K earlier this week...the MDO was not very engaging and the Pre-K was too structured for what he can handle right now. He really wants to go to "school", but he's not interested in the sitting down and learning part. I'm going to look into other MDOs.

Happy 250th to Mozart. We were listening to his Serenade #6 on the way to pick up Jon last night. Tristan noticed that there were violins playing, like Papa's. Then we had a little exchange.

Tristan: Mama, is that guitar?
Me: No, honey.
(pause)
Tristan: It would be better if they put guitars in it.
