May update

Hello again! It's almost the middle of May and time for a quick entry...

We've had a few weeks now of no-jacket weather, with only the occasional (read: two) days of "Aberdeen weather". That means overcast and chilly. Mom gets a little snippy on those days, I think she's not looking forward to giving up all this sun when we go back! Brother and I love running around outside with no shoes or socks, sometimes no shirts. Rarely no pants, though Brother has his off more often than not now as Mom is trying to get him potty trained. I might add that to my in-expert eyes it is not going so well. Judging by the poop stain on the outside mat. And the puddle on the kitchen floor. Twice. In one day. Oh well, as she frequently reminds me (and then sighs and puts her head down): Your day will come, Adam.

Yikes!

Otherwise all is well here. The river is hopping, the parks are full, there are tornadoes and thunderstorms brewing here and there, and we remain happy and thriving in their midst. Music therapy is going well, though I put Miss Erika through her paces today! My teacher Ms. Schadow was gone today, so I was a little out of sorts. Tomorrow is the Special Olympics dance, and mom and Caleb and Miss Amy and Willem are coming so that should be fun. I'll get her to take a picture and post it so you can see me in my gear. I know you'll be waiting!

That's all for now. Brother is crying so I should probably go give him a hug. (don't worry, he's fine)
Love, Adam xx

Good Easter, Happy Friday

Hi all.

We went to a great service on Thursday night at church with a lot of loud singers. I really enjoyed listening to the music, and I was much better behaved than brother, I might add. Mom just informed me that service was for Maundy Thursday, and yesterday was Good Friday, and tomorrow is Easter. So since we're in the middle I thought I would wish you whatever is appropriate for this in-between day.

We've had lots of visitors this last month: Auntie Lou and Uncle Jim came for a week, which was fun. "Uncle" Bernd came too, though mostly to see Daddy since we didn't see him much. I think they did a lot of work together on a commentary or something. Now Oma and Opa are here from California for the week, and we're all going to the beach tomorrow for three days! I would be real excited except it's supposed to be poopy weather. Oh well...can't have everything, eh?

The other new thing of the last few weeks is that I'm going to music therapy, which I really like. My friend Erika lets me play all her instruments, and we sing and dance around the room. Oh, and I'm supposed to be learning how to follow verbal instructions, like "stop". Mom says that's her favorite part, but I think she might be being sneaky with me. Anyway, it's fun and I get to do it until the end of the school year. I'll let you know when I become a virtuoso.

Anyway, happy almost Easter. I'll be back soon.
love, Adam x
