silly kids

the past 6 weeks have consisted of intense studying (for the final architecture licensing exam-- for those keeping score, it's the 10th exam in a littany of tests), 4 of which included each member of the Goodwin household getting very very sick for at least a week each... so, yeah, kinda busy/hectic/exhausting

Cate is struggling to crawl-- so far she just scoots backwards. And James provides a running commentary on everything we do-- which he's admittedly done for quite awhile but now it includes his own ideas on things ("It's time to take a nap, James" answer: "but it's a beautiful day outside"). He repeats everything with adorable mishaps ("banas" for bananas and "silly pigs" for guinea pigs). He also loves playing in his sandbox in the backyard (a cookie sheet with sand in it-- thank goodness for imaginations!).
