Owen is running laps around the dining room table, while Josh is looking on and giggling every time Owen rounds the corner.

Owen and Aikido
Owen started Aikido two weeks ago, at the recommendation of his pre-K teacher, Sarah. Aikido is less aggressive than other martial arts, but has the same longstanding traditions and discipline. With Owen's endless energy and propensity to challenge authority, we thought we'd give it a try. We don't want to squash Owen's spirit, and we want him to get to act like a 4-year old, so we want something that works with who he is. So far, it seems like a good fit.

We're back!!
It's been over a year, but we're back! The Mudgett family is alive and well, and Owen and Josh are growing faster than our dandelion garden in this unusually nice weather here in Seattle.
Josh is 19 months old and just a joyful little man. Unless he's not. He has an infectious laugh and a wicked stubborn temper. He's a good combination of both of his parents. He started walking this summer, finally. Just as he started really moving, he had a stairs accident and suffered a greenstick fracture in his left fibula (the thin supporting bone in the calf). He's uncasted and already back walking on it two weeks later, so it definitely could have been worse! Josh has 16 teeth, and some favorite foods are peas masala, yellow curry fried rice, and strawberries. He starts co-op preschool with Dan in a few weeks, with Teacher Janice (Owen's first teacher). We're curious to see how he is around a big group of kids and adults, since he doesn't yet have the social circle that Owen had since before he was born.
Happy Labor Day! And here's to more Mudgett news to come!
Owen is on Summer break from his new Pre-K class. He goes weekdays for 6ish hours, and we're all loving it! He also started Aikido this week. So far, so good! He's SO cute in his gi and obi (white belt)! His teacher, Sarah, recommended it as a way to healthfully focus his infinite energy. We're also compiling kindergarten options, and Owen will be doing an IQ evaluation at the end of the month (also per Teacher Sarah's recommendation). We have no doubt that he's a gifted young man, but I am so curious to see how he officially places!

Drive-by Posting
Another month has passed, and my goal of posting more has not been met. Again.
Our boys are doing great!
Josh is chunking up, rolling over both ways, chatting up a storm, and eating solid foods more and more. His favorite foods right now are vanilla yogurt, sweet potatoes, and Baby Mum Mums rice rusks. Josh rode on park swings for the first time too - big success!
Yogurt
Swings
Meatball
Cutie pie
Owen is really growing up too. He is correcting our grammar ("It's safeLY, Daddy"), telling jokes, and potty training finally! He successfully pooped in his Cars potty chair today, earning him a slingshot and red Angry Birds toy. Owen is still Josh's favorite person in the world, and is an incredibly loving and sweet big brother.
Our chickens are full grown now too, and just started laying eggs this week. We're going to make some for breakfast tomorrow!

It's bedtime for the boys, so I need to wrap this up, but things are going well. I have accepted a new job at Regence Blue Shield in Seattle, so I'm two work days away from wrapping up my current position. Another chapter closing, and another beginning. Wish us all luck!
