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

Roan: ready for school.

Afon: on a family outing, on a cold (but sunny!) day in April!

Roan's speech is coming along slowly, but it is coming.  He had his first week of "school," each day eager to leave on the bike with daddy and coming home happy.  I know he wants socialization with other the children, the kind he tries to get (and fails) from his brother.  I am confident that he will blossom in the social environment.

Last night, he said, "more cheese, Mama."  He's repeating words on command (most of the time).

Afon's been calmer and more contented lately, which is a huge relief.  Easter holiday was a challenge, keeping him occupied and entertained and also keeping our house from collapsing.  He spent a lot of days in Bangor.
