      Good luck! Our first one went well then we had a bad experience when he had his first grade meeting then things improved again...every year is an experiment! :)

      Thanks! I'm doing it mostly for the classes. He will be going 3 days per week to things like Lego, Gardening, Art, Music -- basically, my weak areas. :)

      Good luck. The classes sounds fun :)

      Don't notice me as I try to like this comment while wearing my ninja suit. Shhh, I'm not even here.

  5. Back from follow up appointment for amblyopia. Vision is improving, but DS5 needs to continue patching -- likely until he is 6 or 7. He is seeing around 20/40ish at the moment, which is good, but will probably never be a pilot.

      Keep at it. The best results come with long term effort, but, boy, is it hard. 20/40 is very good. Feel free to PM me if you ever need encouragement.

      Thanks, Stripe! Luckily, he likes to patch (a bit of bribery on my part assured that).

  6. Ronen is celebrating his first birthday today!

  8. Looks like we have a walker on our hands!

  9. Sacha: "I'm trying to decide if I want to be a urologist or a proctologist. I'm not sure if I'm more interested in pee or caca." Me: "That's a tough decision." More conversations I never foresaw as a parent.

      Well, the compensation rate from insurance for either is pretty good....

       

  10. Just bought 18 children's audiobooks for $50. Woot! #AudibleSale

  11. Don't read with DS5 for almost 2 weeks. Come back to it tonight and he did the best ever. By far. I will never figure out my children.

      My little guy did this last year. Couldn't blend at all, came back from three week break at Christmas and immediately could read all three letter words I showed him.

      My guy does that too. He's at a fun stage now where all the familiar shapes and colours on signs and labels are turning into WORDS for him and they MEAN things!

       

  12. Tried to dock our 41 foot sailboat for the first time in the 7 years we've owned her. It did not go well. Thankfully, no boats were injured in the making of this post.

      Considering I can't parallel park my station wagon, I'm impressed that you even tried.

      Docking under sail -- you're my hero!

  13. Monique Math: The bottle of Two Buck Chuck totally offsets the $70 dry aged ribeyes from Whole Foods. Yeah, I am really rockin' the budget.

      The same algorithm had me drinking tap water with my Copper River salmon tonight.

      It is seriously amazing. :)
