Well time is flying by as always. Thom is excelling in swimming lessons, and Beth is happy and wild.

One thing I didn't post after Beth's accident she has added more excitement to our lives. In the weeks after, Beth has tried sticking things into power outlets, learnt to climb into her booster, she scales up Thomas' chair (which is like a bar stool in height) and even onto the very top of the toilet. She had demonstrated for me this past weekend that she can go to the patio doors and raise and lower the locking levers - she was oh so proud with a huge grin! (I was very glad she showed me her new skill, we then fixed it with an extra child proof lock she has not figured out yet!) I think that she figures that she cheated death once, bring on the danger, she can take it!

Talking about locking levers, on the kids bedroom window I have taken the window cranks off because I think Thom might open his window and fall out (which is maybe 10 feet above the ground) . So I have them up high above the molding that the kids cannot reach even if on a chair. If Jeff or I want to open the window it is never open too wide and we put the cranks back into the hiding spots so the kids could not open them further. Well, with that intro guess what happened.... I had opened the window in the house on Mother's day and put the cranks back to their spots. In our living room our window is about 8 inches above the floor of the porch, we (I) have never removed the cranks on that window, well, I was making a cake for desert because my in-laws came over and I had not heard Thom for a few minutes, I called him and he answered he was just pooping, but yet the reply sounded further away then it should! I went to check the bathroom and saw the screen was out of the window in the living room and the window was completely open. Thom had decided to go outside to poop! He was on our front path pooping! I sent him inside to the bathroom and I had to tell Goni and laugh without him hearing before I reprimanded him further, once I had finished my quiet laughter I went back to him and he was gone! I had not yet removed the cranks and he was outside finishing his poo! This time I removed the cranks then went outside to get him and give him a lesson on safety.

I have two crazy kids and they make everyday exciting!

As a side note Beth is doing great, there are no side effect to her accident other then her wanting to become 'Super Dave' and I am doing better too.
