The phones are working again at home. I called about 11 am, and they said a technician would be out by 7 pm, and when I got home from work after 5, the phones were fixed. Good job, Qwest! The problem was outside the house, not sure what it was. Sounded like some kind of wire break somewhere else.

The kids will go to Musikgarten today. Hopefully John will be good. He did a good job last week, after Rhonda talked to him. He does seem better able to listen, and adjust accordingly, much more so than before. It's hard to tell how much, if any, he's still behind development-wise, but maybe he's not quite as emotionally developed as others his age, and he's still catching up. But I think he is catching up, he seems more attuned to us. He often expresses affection, etc...

I think Hanna is much farther along in that respect than John was at the same age. She does have her two year old moments, where she can get testy, but I think that's mostly normal stuff. She does know she has to listen and there can be consequences.
