October Part I

October included a trip to Utah, which (of course) had to include getting together with the Page cousins.  We brought down our Halloween cookie cutters and made cookies with the girls.  Leah managed to lick the frosting off of at least 3 cookies.  A right of passage for any 18-month-old, I'd say.


Jake is in this major building phase (more on that on an upcoming "what I love part II" post), but lets just say that he turns just about everything into a tool these days.  Case in point: a small magnetic ball attached to a small magnetic rod becomes a hammer, of course.  See that squint in his eye when he's really concentrating?  His preschool teachers thought he must be having more vision problems and really encouraged (read: pressured) me to get his vision checked again.  They were sure he couldn't see well up close.  This was a little disconcerting to me because at last check Jake was extremely near-sighted.  If he couldn't see things far away, and now couldn't see things close up, well, what could he see??  I tried to tell them that he always makes this face when he's concentrating, but they weren't buying it.  So I took him in for a checkup.  Turns out he can actually see slightly better than last time, so his squinty little face is just...well...a squinty little face!
