In the News

Highlights from the last week in the Hoover house:
* Myka slept in a tent for the first time in the backyard with Daddy. The s'mores beforehand, although appropriate for the occasion, may have enhanced the excitement a bit beyond where Kurt would have wanted it to be for bedtime.
* We found out Eli has a sensory processing disorder in his mouth. (This sounds worse than it is...) Basically, his mouth is hyper sensitive and anything other than plastic and very bland foods freak him out.
Solution: let him play with his food. Really, that is what we are working on this week. This is very, very hard for me...
* I heard the words, "I don't really want ice cream, I think I'll just have a glass of water."
* Myka jumped off the side of the pool all by herself at swimming lessons. She is very proud.
* She also rode her big girl bike (i.e. 12 incher with training wheels) all the way around the neighborhood. Again, she is very proud.
* Eli, according to Myka, needs to learn to "be brave" when we go on a walk and there is a sprinkler to cross through, so she is helping him overcome his fear of being randomly splashed by making sure we walk through each and every sprinkler on our route, no matter which side of the road it is on.
* We had a conversation at dinner last night about what happens when you die, and after we told her the basics Myka said, "When I die, can I go in your box? I don't want to be lonely."

Looking forward to another exciting week!
