Today,

• Aisa made me a Moby wrap — out of material I bought to make some shirts for the boys years ago, and never did — and I’ve been using it… it’s so comfy!! Here’s how to use one, but I’m sooo happy ours cost virtually nothing (or feels like nothing anyway) and not ~$40 like the ones on Amazon. Of course, theirs are much sleeker-looking:

  

• Yena is still a bit slow with subtraction, so I had her spend some time at the Math-U-See drill page. Did the same thing with Migi when he was having trouble with multiplication, and now he’s much faster!
• Paco worked on his Personal Management badge requirements. He got to save some time since he did some research (power point presentation and all) on video gaming systems a while back, when he was trying to convince us to get a GameBoy or an XBox or whatever those things are called. We’re convinced (took him only more than a year ) and they’re getting the Wii sometime… but not just yet.
• Aisa helped me stir-fry some pork and broccoli in bean sauce. Still needs to work on her stir-frying technique. She hasn’t quite got the wrist technique down yet.
• Nino cooed several times today!! He did a bit of that on Friday too, but I wasn’t sure. Sigh…. so much blessing in just this one bundle alone.
• The 2009 calendar came, finally!! It’s large and fits perfectly on the kitchen wall. Hopefully, no more surprise appointments, etc.
• Still making progress on that basement!! Finished up 3 shelves today.
• Freecycle rocks!! Advertised 2 large boxes and 2 large bags today and it was gone by 5:30! I love painless donations.
