Simon has slept through the night two of the past three nights and finally appears to feel comfortable and happy in our new abode. Winslow thinks this is the best home we've had since way back in those long ago Foster City days. We are close to a main thoroughfare which causes two very different reactions in our boys. Winslow is delighted and rules the roost night and day as he watches the fast cars go to and fro. Simon insists that there are airplanes and helicopters outside his room (and sometimes they wake him up or it might be that his room is impossible to keep warm).

Besides spending time with friends Calvin and Patrick and visiting with Grandparents Kagle (giving us time to see our first movie out in a very long time), Simon has been spending his time eating LARGE quantities of food. When he asked for a third bowl of cereal yesterday morning we thought something might be up but that was nothing compared to his adult sized meal from last night including his first veggie burger (which he enjoyed a great deal). He continues to eat real food at all of our favorite restaurants instead of requiring grilled cheese or macaroni and cheese which we find SO REFRESHING.

As is a Kagle tradition, Grandparents Kagle bought Simon his first WAY COOL big boy bed and we think we might be getting closer to Simon actually sleeping in it. (Not only did they buy it but they waited in our empty apartment for it to be delivered for longer than it took some of us to make it across the country.) Simon is still very attached to his crib but we're anxious to get him out of it because it is literally falling apart. Last night Simon said he wanted to sleep in the big boy bed but he was too tired to make rational life-altering decisions. When he slid down the slide before Hava could turn out the light, she just placed him back in the crib. We're fairly certain that a night-light toy (not attached to an outlet) will make him more comfortable and we will be looking for just such an item this weekend.

Hava has enjoyed her week with the Kagle boys and is sad to be returning to work on Monday. She has, however, made sure that Matthew and Simon will be kept busy by signing them up for several classes at the Sunnyvale Recreation Department: Toddler Art, Cooking, and Gymnastics. Matthew hopes to sign Simon up for the next session of story time at our library. All together, the classes will fill an hour of their morning schedule almost every day for the next month or two.
