One down, Four to go.
Well both kids are asleep before 9 pm even with daylights saving so I am calling this first night a victory. Taran fell asleep asking what fun things we would do when daddy comes home. That will be a nice message to pass along to Connor. Tovi had one brief almost holding breath incident but I blew on her face to snap her out of it. I hope these "spells" are not going to be common. I can manage them but I don't want them. Mostly she was her typical happy as can be self.
It was a beautiful day and we had lots of playing time outside. I put together a bike for Taran and he rode it happily for awhile before abandoning it for digging in the dirt. I have to laugh at my first attempt at adjusting the training wheels. I put them on "perfectly such that the back wheel barely touched the ground. Taran was pedaling like crazy and getting now where. I fixed it so the back wheel made full contact with the ground.
I'm regretting not keeping a baby book for Taran because I'm remembering things after the fact that would be helpful. Taran took forever to teeth but after the first cut the next 5 came in all at once. Tovi is experiencing the same thing and I feel like a dope for sparingly putting a dab of teething gel on one spot an now I'm seeing whole sections of her gums with tiny new teeth poking out. Sorry little girl. No wonder she's been cranky.
I'm going to go to sleep before I get too distracted. Last night I was researching Mensa for some reason. I've never had an IQ test before and I don't expect that I would be in the top 2% but who knows. The closest to an IQ test for me was probably the logic test of the GRE which I did well on. I was not jumping for joy at my scores when I took it but I nearly aced the logic section and I remember my undergraduate adviser saying he considered that representative of a person's IQ. He was certainly eligible for Mensa so maybe I should let my mind be happy with that. I was talking with Connor about IQ and what people use as gages for it. I'm super lazy when it comes to vocabulary so any tests that factors that to any degree I take a hit. Connor on the other hand is very into detail and thus the absolute appropriate word for every occasion so he does very well in that area. Anyway... I'm comfortable with my level of inteligence and hope to nuture my intellect but I don't need to be a genius. Alright to be on this misc. note.
