I’ve been doing some sewing. L is stretching out and so I decided to make him a new winter blanket, this will also free up the smaller blankets for the baby. The point was not to experiment with a complicated design, but to choose something that would get finished. Space is a premium around here so it felt good to use up some scraps , some pieces from my fabric stash and 2 of Lowell’s flannel shirts that he doesn’t wear anymore.
With school starting the Parent drop-in Center is open again. L enjoys playing with all the toys so we have added that to our weekly activities. Inevitably hanging out with that many kids means that we brought home a cold/stuffy nose. This cold has given us some good days and some more lethargic days.
A few weeks ago Lowell introduced L to the computer and mouse function. Now playing games on the computer is as much fun as watching TV; PBS kids actually has some great educational games. Unfortunately for him computer time replaces some TV time. He is actually getting really good at controlling the mouse.
Lowell’s classes are in full swing. He is again feeling the pressure of too few hours in a day. Hopefully once most of the administrative details are worked out for his own course there will be more time for that dissertation.
