Onward and upward

Jonah is sleeping well, and late! And tonight is his first night in underwear since we finally got night lights for the hallway, in the event of a trip to the bathroom. This afternoon I left Abe with Josh, and took Jonah (with his BFF Sasha, our upstairs neighbor, and just 6 days older) to a kid-friendly dance recital in a Chelsea loft, which was followed by snacks and hula hooping. It was a delight to behold the kids race into the just-emptied dance space after the performance, and watch them strike poses similar to those the dancers had held. They aren't even 4 years old, but they really gleaned something from the experience of watching the dancers. We may go back next month (since Jonah didn't manage to break anything in the apartment).

When I got back home after a long afternoon away, confirmation that what Abe is doing now is WAVING! With one hand and then BOTH ARMS, FRANTICALLY! He shook his arms so violently when he saw me and smiled so hard I thought he'd split his face open. Eight months in a couple of days, and cuter by the minute.

And we just watched a heartwarming film about a female drifter who freezes to death in a ditch. OK, it wasn't heartwarming, but it was amazing. So far, a great weekend.
