Just a brief update while I await my flight. Though my Boston trip started out disastrously, it definitely improved. We got used to eachother again, and spent hours unpacking his place. I got him out of suitcases and boxes and feeling lost, and Original Flava Steve started emerging. I worked my ass of the last two days while he was working, and trekked to Home Depot and a zillion other stores to whip his place into shape. He now has shelves in all of his closets, which helps.
Something clicked for him on Monday and he started being himself again (and so then I also became much less irritable). He took me to the restaurant we went to three years ago when we fell in love in this lovely city, and said very sweet things. Last night he took me and Jesseh to a really nice dinner, too.
So things are better. I really appreciate everyone's support in my hours of crisis.
That's really great to hear, java. It's amazing how discombobulated moving can leave a person. Just knowing where all your stuff is can leave you feeling like yourself, again.
Can someone provide a distraction to a couple of my tenants so that I can totally steal their two year old that looks JUST LIKE Emeline??
Emeline at two or Emeline now?

Going to tell Emeline that she has competition?
Emeline at 2. It's like I have the dinner plate, but need the bread plate.
I can see the appeal of the complete set, Aims.
I talked to Owen's special ed teacher today and she said she's excited to share the results of his testing with me on Monday. She said she's never gotten as far into tests with a child before. Yesterday, he brought home a book that he wrote during rest time: The Science of Mythbusters. When you open it up, the first page says, "Dustroy things." I think Jamie and Adam would be proud.
They would be. I'm glad the testing went really well.
Leif is a big Mythbusters fan. He contemplated going as Jamie for Halloween last year. We'd just need a fake mustache, beret, glasses, and a white shirt. He changed his mind at the last minute though.
I'm saving that one for his scrapbook to show his developmental pediatrician. She already thinks he's cool.
