Gormenghast Trilogy/Twins Update
Evidently there is a great trilogy of books by Mervyn Peake, kinda compared to Tolkien's creation of Middle Earth. The books are called the Gormenghast Trilogy. I am going to look for them at the library.
Skated for an hour and a half last night. N. is really making solid progress, and J. is really exceptional. Right when we got on the ice, J. immediately started skating laps on her own! I held N. by the hand for about 15 minutes and then she was off on her own. Mainly I skate slowly behind them and watch them but when I saw they were doing fine I did do a few laps on my own really fast. The only downside to all of the skating is that my muscles right above my ankle seriously ache, kinda like lactic acid after long distance running, but a different sort of pain. It was funny because on the ice, J. asked me if I had any "pain" because I had said that repeatedly when we skated on Friday. And when I said I need to go sit down for a while, N. skated over to the window next to A. and asked "when Daddy takes a break can I still skate by myself?" That was cute.
So taking N&J to the library and out for skating are two things they really seem to enjoy. They really like using the computers at the library and the only thing is I need them to stop running around so much. I will see how they behave tonight.
I still have a sore throat though the runny nose is basically gone.
Red Sox started spring training, it is going to be a bittersweet year without Damon and with it being Trot Nixon's last season as a Red Sox.
Oh the other cool thing is that N. has been drawing what she refers to as "books"-where she draws a cover and then writes words inside a folded up piece of pink colored paper. SHe really has a vivid imagination, she is creative, which is good.
I would say N&J are quickly becoming good skaters, they really are smart girls and all of their drawings have happy faces so they must be happy!
More later.
