Mudgett Babies: 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.

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!

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.
