Those boys of mine keep growing up more every day! Ezra has reached a new threshold in climbing – he can maneuver himself onto a dining room chair all by himself now, as well as the living room couch (he took the basement couch months ago)! He wants to do everything Judah does, and they even wrestle sometimes, although not as much as I’d like! 
Judah has learned his alphabet (long ago), but has still not quite reached the stage where he can blend sounds together to make words, so he’s in a holding pattern on reading, but I discovered today that he can almost count to 20 by himself, although you have to keep him on track at 14, 15, & 16. I’m trying to teach him the greek alphabet, starting with the sounds, which is going fine. Since I don’t know them, we’re seeing who can memorize them first – Judah can!
