Keeping Busy

     JT has been really keeping us on our toes. That is a nice way of saying that he has been driving us nuts. He will still have the occasional meltdown but they have subsided. Instead when he disobeys us, he just acts as sweet as can be and smiles at us. So, we end up laughing and whatever we are trying to covey to him seems to get thrown out the window. JT has been trying to give up his nap. We wouldn't mind if he would act like a normal person from 4pm.-7:30pm. but he doesn't. He is a mess and exhausted. He is also being a pain about staying in his room at night after we have already put him to bed. The other night after he had already come out of his 5 times, I noticed the hallway light on. I walked into his room, he was not there, his bathroom, not there, our bedroom, not there. Our bathroom, the door was locked. I knock. "JT, let me in." I walk into our bathroom. JT is covered with baby powder. The water bowl for the dogs, filled with powder and water. "JT what is going on?" JT says, "I am giving Fiona a bath." I looked at him sternly and told him not to move. He looked scared. I went downstairs, came back up and he hadn't moved. I told him to smile and took his picture. He was very proud of himself for giving Fiona a bath and happy that she was clean. Needless to say, we had a little discussion and he went to bed.
     JT has been shaving with Kevin in the morning but he practiced at first in the bathtub. He has also become a great plumber and fixed our dishwasher. JT is also working on his artistic abilities.
     Jonah needs to start walking soon or I will need back surgery! He is working hard on it. He continues to take swim lessons and loves the water. Jonah can now hear and has a beautiful penis. He had surgery Friday and did great and is recovering nicely. He continues to laugh at everything we do and at himself. He loves JT and they both like to laugh obnoxiously and make loud weird noises. Boys!
