On Sunday we ordered Chinese delivery which is done very very infrequently around here. I searched around for a restaurant and finally chose one and 25 minutes later...dinner arrived. As it is freezing cold, I invited the delivery man inside. Kai came over to say hello and the man waved to him and smiled while I finished settling up. He left and we went to the kitchen to survey our dinner. As I was picking all of the broccoli out of Jake's chicken and broccoli to give to Kai he was telling me about how the man waved to him. Then he says (of a man who we have never seen as far as I know), "That man remembers me because I'm awesome. People think I'm awesome." For real. I couldn't agree more.
This morning, Kai was playing with a pen and paper and watching Sesame Street. He started exclaiming to me that he "made an A!" I went over and sure enough, he wrote the letter A. I should take a picture probably to post. It was pretty awesome. His next picture was of eggs, so we thought perhaps we had misunderstood him. But, no, when shown the first paper he told me it was the letter A.
In non-Kai news, I have almost finished up my very first knit sweater. Pictures are sure to follow as soon as it is off the needles. My sister and her family made it safely to Virginia and I miss them horrendously already. And Jake was happy to report from work to home this week that he will be getting a raise this month that was seriously delayed after a pay freeze at the company. So, happy and sad balancing out around here.
