Jess says, “He likes to crawl up and into this chair and as soon as he is oriented he leans back and relaxes, like an old man in his favorite recliner or something…”

There is nothing more wonderful than listening to Arthur eat. I realized this is likely not true for people who aren’t his mom or pop, but Jess and I have both agreed that hearing his little mouth eat something tasty is really quite wonderful. This is the sounds of Art blazing through a bowl of strawberries.

Our neighbor and Art's new best friend Tsundi has been over at our house every day lately. They're like two tiny little tornadoes that sometimes stop to pee or eat some cheese. It's very fun to watch them together. As we wrote earlier, Tsundi recently moved back home from India and doesn't speak English, at least not much. They often try to imitate each other's language, sort of blabbering nonsense words. My phone calls home have been more interesting as of late because of the funny moments Jessica describes about their time playing together. When I called home today to see how things were going, she answered, "Jessica's house of English Immersion." So funny.

Jess adds, “They actually didn’t stop to eat the cheese. They just kept running laps in the house and would pause briefly for “Cheese please!” and then take the cheese and run again.”

Watch out because Lewis is not taking things lying down anymore. Take him off the swing? He will scream his bloody little head off. Try to close the bathroom door when he is going for the plunger? You will find a puddle angry baby on the floor. Close the toy house door when Lewis is trying to open it? He will BITE YOU! That’s right! Lewis has learned to bite. He bit Art three times this morning! The first time for not letting him open the door to the playhouse. Then he did it again for the same reason. The third time happened in the sandbox, and that time Lewis actually pulled Art’s arm closer to himself so he could get a better angle, his little face all scrunched with anger, mouth agape. We must all be careful now. He has found his revenge!
