Beth: Mom tell Caleb what a birthmark is?
Me: Why don't you tell him?
Beth: A birthmark is a mark you get when you are born so we know that you don't come from an alien planet.
We visited Busch Gardens recently and went on a ride that was called Tidal Wave at Lagoon, I don't remember the name at Busch Gardens, but it's big boat that goes back and forth swinging up and down. Beth wouldn't go on it, but it was one of the real rides even the boys could do. So they went. They were having a pretty could time, until people started screaming, and then Jacob started crying. We talked afterwards about how screaming makes the ride more fun, and you are supposed to scream. Jacob said: So I'll say Woo Hoo! And then he insisted that he wanted to ride it again, and he Woo Hooed the whole ride through the second time.
Caleb sat down with me to practice reading yesterday, and managed to successfully sound out the words we were going to cover. Reading with pictures is a problem because eh tries to just tell the story instead of looking at the words, but he is doing awesome. His cast is off after eight weeks, and now he is in a splint for another month. Poor Guy--but he can go swimming!

Tommy reminds me it's the Battering Ram at Busch Gardens.
Tidal Wave, Battering Ram... I knew what you were talking about! I'm glad Jacob was able to have some fun. And yay for Caleb's cast coming off! Have fun swimming!
I aree with Gail so nice to see you blogging. So I guess we all better have birthmarks or we could be aliens, according to Beth. Love you all.
