"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2017."

Afon:  I don't know if he sees right through you or right into you. Either way, it's unnerving.
Roan:  playing in the park on a warm spring day.

Afon lost his first tooth on the past Tuesday.  At first, he was quite distressed, and I didn't know what was happening.  We were getting him into the bath before school and there was blood coming from his mouth.  When I saw that his tooth was loose, I assured him that it was okay and build up the excitement of getting a big boy tooth.  He seemed to cheer up when he realized what was happening was normal and expected.  It came out later that day and was sent home in a small brown envelope--his first lost baby tooth!

Roan has picked up a few words, such as "water" and "shoes."  The speech therapist says he is delayed, but we are optimistic with his introduction into playgroup via Flying Start after Easter.
