Last year I complained bitterly about how hot it was. This year has been much better. I am so grateful to be pregnant right now and not last year! This morning I heard on the radio that we have yet to hit 100 degrees here (though the heat index has definitely been up there) and last year we had already had 33 days over 100 by now! Wow.
Joseph's Research Preparation Exam is tomorrow and he has been working like crazy for it. He's a smart kid though so I am confident things will work out. It has been a little hard on all of us - yesterday he was in his lab until midnight (he did come home for dinner and FHE and to help put the kids in bed) and this morning he was gone before 8:00. We will have to do something extra fun tomorrow afternoon to celebrate having that behind us.
Is biting an instinct? Are some kids just born with the desire to bite other kids? Is it a personality thing or a gender thing? Emily has never bitten but Caleb has started and it is awful. He makes Emily cry a lot and he makes me frustrated. Punishing takes a lot of energy and I don't have that right now. He also tackles Emily and pulls her hair. I wonder if it's all in self-defense. Maybe he has to be the aggressor in order to not be completely run down by Emily.
Sorry no pictures today. The camera and computer with all the pictures are both at school with Joseph.

Seriously, I think EVERY kid bites once. If they do it again and again...well since Eric bit Emily just yesterday...let me know if you figure out how to make them stop.
But no matter what you say I think Caleb is a dear. :)
We have the same problems with Hannah and Jonathan. Good Luck.
