Again

Well Austin has a new word and I am not sure I am excited about it. It is the word again. As in, read it again. And again. And again. It came out today as we were reading books. We would finish a book and he would say "again". I would say "You want to read it again?" To which he replied "ok,ok". It was fun the first time or two he said it, but I can see this becoming a favorite word soon. He also wanted to watch a video again, which got a resounding no to that request.

Tonight we went to our neighbors the Shaffars for a birthday party for Mark. It was a "block party" with all of our (foreign) neighbors we know invited. We grilled out, ate ice cream sundaes and tried to keep the total of 12 kids from getting too out of control. Austin stayed downstairs with the younger (3 and under) kids and had a good time I think. He is definitely teething though, his right incisor is in and the left is not far behind, which has made for a cranky day at home. But getting out does him (and me) good. Now Chris and I are lounging on the couch, getting ready to gear up for a new week tomorrow.

Leah,

I love reading your blog... it makes me feel like you aren't quite so far away, and makes me eager to connect in TL this summer.

I remember when Julianna learned to say "out" [as in "out of the stroller", "out of my arms", "out of the high chair", "out", "out", "out"]. I had the same reaction as you did to Austin's "again". It was cute at first, but then seemed to be all I heard all day long :)
