A New Thing and an Odd Thing

So two weeks ago we had two experiences that were on opposite end of the spectrum.

First, we got a phone message following up on Josiah's orthotics. Two years ago Josiah was fitted for leg and foot braces (he hated them and we gave up after a few tries) and I guess he was due to be re-checked and sized. That's a message you don't expect to hear at the end of the day. Definitely put a melancholy cap to the evening. Oh, and we didn't bother to phone back :)

Second, Joelle is starting to sit on her own! It's cute and - wow - it's so much easier to get her dressed in the morning. But it's hard in a strange way because it is a milestone that Josiah never reached. Less than 7 months in with Joelle and we're learning new things that we never experienced with our 2 1/2 year-old.

Such is life.
