I awoke this morning to the continued suspicion that I and the kids have a slight cold. Caedmon in particular was coughing/barking this morning in an unpleasant way. Fortunately, it passed and didn't seem to be much of an issue the rest of the day.
Mika was the first to test some of the freezer jam, enjoying it in her peanut butter & jelly sandwich. The jam is apparently quite acceptable. I'm always struck by the vivid brightness of freezer jam compared with the cooked jam types. Kind of surreal - like radioactive jam.
Nothing much of excitement today. The kids refined some of their video game playing skills, and also enjoyed an extended scootering outing for them to play on their Razor scooters. After hauling them around the nation with us for the last four months, it's been good to see them enjoying them here in Portland. Mika is the real scooter enthusiast - she has excellent balance and literally flies down the sidewalk. The exhileration radiates from her as she passes by, hair flying in the breeze.
Caedmon is following in his big sister's steps. He's been working very hard and is beginning to get some of the basic ideas about balance. He can glide for a couple of seconds and is very excited by that ability. Alec is not really that interested in scooting, but he's taken his out a couple of times. He gets frustrated quickly with not being able to master it. But it's good to see him taking at least a passing interest in it.
