I am trying to keep up. I am. But I'm afraid I'm not succeeding.
The boys and I took a trip to NY almost three weeks ago. I meant to write about it as soon as we got home. . .
. . . well, it was a terrific trip. We took the train this time and all three boys enjoyed it. It seems to me that Viggo is embracing the world a little more these days. His grasp of his surroundings is deepening. He is able to apply himself to a greater variety of interests. Instead of just focusing on one thing (like a train crossing) he is talking about so many things. He knows his months and tracks every day on his own calendar. He keeps track of birthdays and holidays. He makes maps of the route the bus takes to school and of New York City. He wants to plant flowers and is excited about winter giving way to spring. He is growing more independent. He wants to tend to the compost. He wants to cook. And most of all he draws, draws and draws. Everything he thinks about ends up on a piece of paper.
