It hasn’t been a good week for our Internet Service Provider, but service was restored this morning. They have some competition in town now from the telephone company, so maybe the competition will help things improve.
Diana has been walking a lot as long as somebody holds her hand. She has walked on her own once so far and made it about five steps before she gave up and went back to crawling. She has actually been too tired walk much in the evenings for the past two days. Her legs are a bit rubbery after about 5PM, but she is sleeping well! Tomorrow Diana will get to go to the Halloween Kid’s Fun Day as a bee. I hope we remember to take some pictures! Emily made some beautiful chocolate chip cookies for the “Cakewalk” school-fundraiser and put some cute orange and black ribbons on the bags.
We’ve also been helping Diana to brush her teeth even though we haven’t let her have any Halloween candy yet. She usually just chews on her toothbrush for a bit and then drops it, but it is a start. She also go her first pig-tails this week. Her new piano has been fun for all of us, but she can spend the most time playing with her books by herself. She often has pulled all of the books off theshelves by bedtime and sits on them to read whichever one is on top.
Lastly, we bought some macaroni and cheese for dinner last week, but we just made sandwiches instead. As you can see from the picture, it was just too complicated. Bonus: in Indonesia macaroni and cheese comes with a packet of chili sauce.
