Lovely Weekend
This past weekend was quite wonderful.
And on Sunday I got to see bunches of friends at FCL and Grl_Fury’s house. It was so totally awesome. I hadn’t seen anyone in sooooooo long.
Ian completed a course for National University this weekend and has enjoyed about two days of no studying (or maybe he studied at work but not at home in the evening). That’s two down now and probably 10 or 11 courses to go. Plus all the work he’s doing through University of North Texas for his BCBA certification. Poor guy is stretched really thin these days. In the last two days, I’ve seen him smiling more than I have in the last two weeks. Stress sucks.
Lucas’s antics are still very exciting. He ran right out into the street the other day without looking to see if any cars were coming. At the party on Sunday evening, he chose to go into the pool alone, even though we told him no more swimming. He just ignored us, walked off the step, and promptly sank. We had loooonnng talks about both of these incidents. What’s funny/weird is that if I give Lucas a warning that explains why something is dangerous (for example, “…because you could get hit by a car and be badly hurt and that would be terrible”), he interprets this explanation as a sort of curse and cries and yells at me for saying mean things to him—as though by saying it, I am trying to hurt him in that way.
Lucas is enjoying going to school at the B’s, and despite the fact that it’s pretty crazy for a kid to have two preschools, he seems pretty excited about going to both Hidden Treasure and Ring-A-Rosies this summer because he’ll get to see almost all of his friends every week. And I’ll get enough childcare to earn a living … hopefully.
And that’s the news from Wilsonia.
