We took Anders out to play in the pool a few day ago. Rather than splash in the pool, he wanted to read the letters on the side of the pool.
Anders enjoyed the Mall of America again the other day. It was big day. He met Reid and saw the Seeleys again. He also saw Mamie and Mack (Mandy and Matt).
Anders likes to try to negotiate the stairs and go to the basement where he looks at pictures of Anna's family and learns their names. He named Anna's cousin Michael totally out of context, which was impressive. He calls Anna's cousin Kate, "Cake."
That reminds me of another story of Anders and pictures. Anna's grandma gave Anna's mom a picture of Josh as a baby, which reminded her of Anders. Dorene then showed Anders the picture and said, "I wonder what Anders makes of this. I wonder what's going through his mind."
We learned immediately. Anders walked over to the hallway of pictures with the Josh baby picture and pointed to a 12 yr. old picture of Josh and said, "Josh." He made the connection between baby Josh and tween Josh.
I went for a jog today. I think that the 30s might be a decade of stupid little injuries. I know it only gets worse in subsequent decades. I tried to go out for a jog about a week ago, but the pain was too searing in my back and my achilles/ankle. Why? My back hurt because of the Houston HoJo bed, while I hurt my foot by walking too quickly in sandals at the AP Readings in Louisville. That's right, I injured myself by merely walking. A few years ago if you would have told me that I would hurt myself within the course of a month by walking and sleeping, I'd probably ask if I also through my jaw out of joint by chewing gum!
Meanwhile, Anna has been struggling with cold/allergies for a week. She was better yesterday, but worse today.
We are driving to Kansas on Friday, then we are flying to Colorado for a wedding a week from Friday. I hope we are all fine by these events.
