Merry Christmas Everyone:
This year Garrett got so much smarter. He figured out how to unlock the safety latch at the top of the door, and he totally figured out how to walk to McDonalds by himself with bare feet and how to go swimming by himself in the neighborhood pool in boxers and a T-shirt. He made some new friends with the nice policemen by McDonalds. He was such a good boy, getting us to install the security beep that goes off anytime a door or window to outside opens. He also figured out potty training and did pretty great on that...He hasn't quite figured out the wiping part yet, but he is very resourceful and uses my bedspread instead.
Caiti's so comfortable in her own skin. She loves it so much, she rarely feels the need for clothes. Why bother with clothes when you have such pretty skin. She figured out that if you fall limp to the floor and scream, people might not bother you as much. She also figured out that if you pee outside, you can make your own mud. This year, Caiti discovered the joy of getting her toys wet in the sink or trying to flush them down the toilet. We luckily know the maintenance guys on a first name basis, so I guess I can thank her for that...don't know if the maintenance guys do since they have to unclog the toilet so often.
Jason figured out that it is so much fun to dump any sort of liquid left anywhere out on the floor. He likes to leave pretty designs, like the one he just left me from pouring out a bottle of Sour Cherry syrup. He loves his siblings...so cute. In fact, he's trying to be like them...like the day he snuck outside in bare feet, and ran down the road, where Garrett and Caiti's bus driver picked him up and brought him back home.
All in all, we're all progressing in our own little ways. Merry Christmas to all!
Love the Roaches.
