We thought (hoped) that Simon's hitting and shoving problems at school were over but apparently they are not. Simon's teachers reported to Matthew that it is still a problem but they hope to deal with it without using timeouts (which these two teachers apparently don't favor). They explained that he learns things faster than the rest of the Blue Birds, especially when it comes to musical instruction, and that he acts out only after he has become bored and frustrated with the pace of the class. When they see him becoming disinterested, their plan is to show him something new. We've had problems tackling Simon's boredom since he was fresh out of the oven so it may just be that they are right.

Simon finally napped yesterday (though not for long) but he woke up crying four times last night. Until last night we had avoided night time teething issues (although we are beginning to wonder if he was teething in Madison). Only one corner of the tooth is poking through the gum.

Oh, and Simon stood on the bathroom scale yesterday until it read 32.5 lbs.
