Successes on the home front

This is just going to be a quick one, but I want to announce that this past Monday was a big day in the Stardom household. A day after he demonstrated to us that he was capable of rolling over, Henry showed us that he could also roll back. He doesn't quite do it at will yet, but we are definitely not leaving Henry alone on any elevated surface anymore. It was nice to be able to witness the first roll this time, instead of being out of the room and getting burned as our child goes sailing off the couch (sorry Max). The other big success was Max's. Max has been signed up for a lot of activities over the years, but they've all been of the variety that when they're over, you just get a certificate and that's that - there's no real chance to fail. Well, over the past year, he's been in a preschool swimming class that you actually can't get past until you're able to do everything on the report card. Monday night, after his last class, Max graduated to the next level. It's been a lot of hard work - when Max went to his first class, he was unable to be on his back in the pool at all and he was really uncomfortable getting his face wet, let alone putting his face underwater. Now, he can back float to some extent and voluntarily puts his face in the water and is apparently ready to roll for Preschool B. I'm really proud of him and I can't wait to see how he tackles the next challenge.
