Both Accalia and Cole just fell asleep. This hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe it's the rainy weather we're having that's making everyone so drowsy. I'm just glad to have some quiet for a while. Both kids have been rather challenging lately. Our visit to Mankato last weekend wasn't completely relaxing because both Accalia and Cole were out of sorts. I think there are major changes going on with both.

Accalia's mind is just working constantly and processing so many things. She's making all sorts of connections, especially identifying the different forms letters and numbers can take. Yesterday it was raining slightly when we ran into a building and Accalia started singing "Rain, rain go away!" When we came out the rain was gone and Accalia was so pleased with herself. So today she's been singing a lot in hopes of the rain disappearing, but it hasn't happened yet.

On our way to Mankato last Thursday, we discovered that Cole's third tooth (this time on top) was popping through. No wonder he's been cranky! And I haven't gotten a good look yet, but I think he may have another tooth on the bottom coming through. And now he's pulling himself up onto everything and has even started walking around things a little. So it's completely understandable why he's so out of sorts. He shouldn't be doing all of this at not even eight months, though! LOL!
