More snow falling today. It's a bit warmer though so the roads are wet but not real slick. So, getting to work was much faster than I feared it might be this morning.

Yesterday Rhonda took John to the doctor to have his ears checked out. His ears are in great shape the doctor (Doctor Kuku) said. He might need them only a few more months. Initially I thought we were told till he was maybe 4 or 5. Eek. He likes to swim so much, keeping those ear plugs in can be a hassle, but it will be great if he can just jump in pools and bathtubs without worrying about those plugs. John also got a hepatitis shot in the thigh. By all accounts he was not pleased about getting stuck with the needle.

Also, Rhonda said he was hard to control. John just wanted to run up and down hallways, and expressed displeasure at having to sit. The entrance has automatic doors so zoom, he just headed outside. He'll kind of look at you, because he knows he is supposed to stay close, but he just has this overwhelming urge to run around. I suppose all kids are roamers like that, but I wonder if that is a characteristic of kids who've been in an institution. If they have less of an internal brake when it comes to staying close to parents.

We had some oatmeal together before I left for work. John said "cereal...oatmeal". His friend Kyle was going to come over today, so we told him that, and John said "crying... let go". The last time Kyle came over, they squabbled over toys, and he remembered that! Funny. When I said bye-bye he said "hold you", he wanted me to pick him up and give him a hug. That's the first time he's specifically done that.
