Well, only one more week of classes and I'm super excited. Nathan has been doing tons of presentations in his classes and soon it will be all over. I'm so proud of him. He's worked hard during the whole semester, waking up early and coming home late, always going to the tutor center for help with his math. Next semester is supposed to be pretty hard because he's taking this super hard math class, so we're told, plus he's taking more credits. He wanted to take this wood carving class or cabinetry class but they were the same time as his math class so he won't be taking any fun classes which is a shame. As for me, I've been having fun using the free facilities at the college. Since cross country ended awhile ago I've been going to some of the work out classes they have. I've tried turbo kick, hard to the core, abs of rock, cycling, and zumba. I can't say that I liked the zumba but I love the hard to the core class. I love having instructors because I'm very unmotivated to push myself in exercising without someone telling me. I'm so going to miss this free access to the gym and classes when we leave.
And as for the boys, they've been wonderful. Benny is still doing great in his underwear. He tries to hold off going to the bathroom as long as he can but he's good about making it before he has an accident. The potty dance precedes the actual event for the first 20 minutes. Ephraim has been growing and changing a lot lately. Not in the way he looks, he still looks like a sweet little, old man but he's got some new habits. He likes to read books now. before he couldn't stand still through the first page of a book but now he gets books from the drawer and puts them on my lap and just climbs up and makes himself comfortable. He still gets bored if you actually read the book but he does like to turn the pages himself and point to things. He's also becoming more conscience of messes and helps clean up. If his coat is on the floor, he'll pick it up and give it to me to hang up. He also likes to help pick up his toys and help me unload the dryer. He's such a good helper. He's also become a lot more clingy to me and surprisingly less adventurous. He was the kind of kid that would go down the tall big slide at the park without hesitating while I dashed to catch him before he hit the bottom. He was just fearless, but now he would rather sit on my lap and watch other kids playing instead. I took him and Benny to this cool indoor toy with slides and tubes, kinda like at McDonalds and he just sat on one of chairs and watched me and Benny playing inside (nobody else was there so I thought "why not join Benny in the big toy") and then he would cry if I tried to get him to go in with us. He's cute. I'm kinda enjoying this little change though because I get more cuddle time with him now that he prefers mommy to playing on the big toy. Anyways, I love all the changes that these boys go through.
