A Milestone Day

Things here are pretty much the same, more unpacking. The weather has been nice but we'll have measurable snow by the end of the week.

Big news from Grandma and Grandpa's today! Milan took two steps for Grandma while Don and Mzee were in town at the store. Grandma is pretty sneaky, she stood Milan far enough from the washing machine that Milan couldn't reach without taking a couple of steps. Well, Grandma has a pretty intriguing washing machine for little kids...lots of buttons and lights on the front. Milan couldn't resist and took two steps to get to those enticing buttons! And once she had done it, Grandma said she looked a little puzzled, as if to say, "what have I just done?" She's sure taken a long time to walk...and I was hoping she was waiting for Mommy to be with her, but I guess she is ready on her own!

Mzee had kind of a big day too. He has been a great helper to Grandma at meal time, helping to set and clear the table. Tonight when he was putting glasses on the table he tripped and fell down, breaking the glass he had been carrying. He got a small cut on his hand, but mostly he really scared himself! It took a long time for Don and Grandma to calm him down. He even asked once, "why are Grandma's cups made of glass?" There were a lot of tears, but luckily the cut was very small. I talked to him tonight and he explained the whole thing to me. He still sounded pretty sad about it.

I'm counting down the days until I can be with my kids and Don again!!
