Flapper

Bernard has developed a tendency to flap his arms with excitement. An unusual development where everything else is remaining constant. He steadily bilds his language every day. This morning Bernard was learning to count up to 29 with his daddy. When I got home from work he was still hard at it, re arranging the magnetic num ers on the fridge.
last weekend was wonderful but tinged with regret at leaving so many friends before we had sufficient time to get to know them. Nicholas returned from a three week field trip on Saturday morning (I won't miss those!) and we had the baby brunch group at our house. Aubrey, Blake and Luc were all there, as well as Izzy, an adopted child. She currently has pneumonia but they are very relieved because they thought at first it wa TB.
On Saturday evening we went to a goodbye party for Sarah and Simon. they spent a while in the jungle looking for rhinos, and unfortunately ot is now extinct in Vietnam. Tabitha somewhat untastefully made these amazing rhino head shaped cupcakes, with jelly sweets for eyes. They were somehow fitting as a farewell gesture ... They also happened to be delicious. Sarah said she wanted to eat the very last one.
