Friday was my last week day at home. That's depressing. It was also pretty depressing that the Thursday night Adlai seemed to have forgotten how to sleep on his own. We fixed that by deciding right then and there to sleep train him. An entire night of crying and comforting later, he seems to not only have learned how to sleep on his own but is almost cured of swaddling (we're now just swaddling his torso). We were very tired Friday so we mostly spent the day at home doing our usual things and napping. We did pick up a used jogging stroller so Matthew can get some exercise with Adlai while Simon is at school.

Today we took both boys to the pool and, while Simon was having his lesson, I got into the pool with Adlai for his first swim class. He was perplexed by the experience - completely relaxed but concentrating very hard the entire time.

After swimming, Simon and I built a fence to keep people out of our newly planted herb garden. The ties were made from Matthew's ripped shorts. Simon thought that was a pretty interesting way to use old shorts.

Tonight we had a great time celebrating Calvin's fourth birthday. It's hard to believe these little guys are getting so old.

Tomorrow: Passover!
