The Younger & Bennett kids had a great visit together and were really cute (in-between coughing, snotting and puking). And Baby James really loved Ella. The day after Ella stayed the night with my parents (and her cousins Jaden and Brooklyn), James was thrilled to see her when she got home. He went right up to her and hugged her and lovingly slobbered all over her. It was sweet :)

Today was a big day for Silas - he had his evaluation for preschool. It's the school district's peer model program at the special needs preschool. We went last week for the orientation and he loved it. Immediately he was calling it "my school" and asking when he could come back. Today at the eval, they called his name and he went right up to the teacher with barely a look back at us. He went and stood right beside her and then when they were leaving the room, he took hold of her hand and marched on out with her. He was holding the teacher's hand when they came back into the room too. He did let go in-between. He told me all about playing with the boat and making the blocks fall down. I think he's going to LOVE the program. And I love it because is right behind Ella's school and the morning drop off should be super easy. His buddy Ry will be there too so that will be fun!
Mason is doing something that I am proud of too - he got a guitar for Christmas and is taking guitar lessons. He started learning the chords last week and tonight was his 2nd lesson. There is a wonderfully talented man at the church that teaches one night a week - I would love to go up myself and take a few lessons (I just might if Mason gives it up!)
And in another chapter of the Drive By - Drop My Stuff Off at Your House and Run saga, we inherited a kiddie recliner. The Bakers and the Youngers are always moving stuff around from one house to the other (most often as stealthily* as possible) - but somehow we usually end up with most of it eventually! It might look familiar to you because of this post
*by the way, did anyone else know that "stealthly" is not a word? The choices are "stealthy" or "stealthily" depending on if it's an adj or adv. huh, how about that.
