Our New Chair

We got our new chair this week. The kids love it. Three of us can sit in the chair at a time. It's Huge. Alex has gotten in trouble a few times from jumping off of the chair or couch onto the ottoman (sounds like something I would have done when I was his age!). Bethany is doing good staying out of the living room with her sippy cups. We want to get her into the habit of staying in the kitchen with drinks now before she goes to "big girl" cups in a few years.

The chair is very comfortable. I took a 2 hour nap in it yesterday (I'm taking medicine that makes me sleepy). Oren has been sitting in it to read at night. So, we're all enjoying it very much.

Alex's class has been learning about community leaders. Last week his class went to the fire station and Oren had the opportunity to go along. They had a really good time and Alex loved seeing the station and watching the firemen sliding down the pole. He was so proud of himself later that afternoon and was excited to tell me that he wasn't afraid to touch the fireman like a lot of his other classmates were. At the fire station they encouraged the kids to touch the fireman and not to be afraid in case they ever need to be rescued.
