He has settled right in and comes home saying his days are &#8220;awesome.&#8221; Plus he&#8217;s burbling about volcanos and the Big Bang and hissing Madagascar cockroaches, so I think they&#8217;re even teaching him some stuff.<\/li>\n<li>Davy is one of the big kids at our co-op preschool now. I like my work days there: it&#8217;s such a happy, <em>good<\/em> place that even if I show up totally harried and stressed, I&#8217;ll end the day feeling serene.<\/li>\n<li>Sol the Wrecking Ball continues his rampage of terror. If he&#8217;s not transferring the dog&#8217;s kibble into her water dish by the fistful, then he&#8217;s in the bathroom, unspooling all the toilet paper. Or he&#8217;s climbing up the piano, or the bookshelves, or onto the dining room table. Or he&#8217;s digging around in the potted plants. The only reasonable thing to do with him is take him to a park, but working around his nap schedule AND the two daily school pick-ups is a challenge. He&#8217;s a challenge. I just keep telling myself it will get easier soon. Soon. Surely soon.<\/li>\n<li>Our Scout group is rocking along! We&#8217;ve had two meetings plus a group hike, and next Sunday we&#8217;re doing a &#8220;kid&#8217;s bike rodeo&#8221; as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/oaklavia.org\/\">Oaklavia<\/a> Love Our Lake Day.
