Time is flying by, we are almost at October. Whoa! AleVit and MoJo are up to their usual shenanigans.  V is talking like he is a talk show host, non-stop chatter in multiple languages. He said "gracias mamá" to me (with no prompting today) which was super cute. Every time I sit V in his high chair he asks "carne?" "pasta?" It is never too early for fusilli or some chicken tenders. Even Marcel Marceau is trying to speak. After she yanked a water bottle from her other half, I said "take turns"- tell him "mi turno"- she repeated "mi too-noh" a la deaf. A's new signature move is squinting her eyes like she is a bad ass with an occasional  lower jaw jutting out with her lower teeth over her bottom lip. This little girl is fuh-nee. I am sorry to report that while helping me with laundry today (she actually does help schlep from the dryer to the bed) she opted to get into the dryer (not the first time). As I folded the laundry I heard her calling me, from far away. Yup, V closed the door. She was only in there for 45 seconds but I realize that a 19 month old in a dryer is not a great display of parenting. MoJo on the older end is doing well, uncharacteristically well behaved for the most part. M is taking sewing and loving it, reading like a maniac, and almost turning 8 (aaaahhhh!). J is into Mannes, loves karate, and is in love with his new He-Man action figure. He sleeps with him and brings him to school. He asked us recently if he could save his bicycle for his son. That is all I gots for now. Ate too much (surprise!) and I am watching too much Dexter. More soon. Over and out.
