Chris Millard's World

We had a few of the grandchildren at our house last night. Connor is becoming a typical two-year-old. He wants to play outside on the swings constantly, and someone has to push! He likes to go down the sliding board on his tummy, face first as fast as he can. The problem is that he is too little to climb the ladder so someone has to put him at the top everytime. He exhausted the supply of adults willing to spend time lifting him and it made him mad. Late in the evening he dragged Rick to the back door to go back outside. When he saw it was dark, he was disappointed and exclaimed, "All gone!" These were his only words to describe the absence of sunlight and his view of the swing set.

Abby had a permanent tooth coming in and a baby tooth that wouldn't move. This required a trip to Dr. Liston (our favorite) who did the surgery. Abby remembers the little needle in her arm and then nothing else! Amazing! I know the feeling well.

Rachel was measured on the door and we saw that she had grown one inch in the last six months. She is not a little girl anymore.

Emily had to work and we missed her. Clara didn't have to work so we got to have her for the day.

Megan immediately put on her Belle costume as usual. She graduated from Pre-School this week, and will go to kindergarden this fall.
