This morning we went to the playground with Riki and Frederik and it was ok. Elijah managed to throw some sand on some poor baby, I’m just happy he didn’t bite him! Also, on our way back home, Rowan took off running while I was talking to Riki and I had to chase him down. They have been so good about holding hands while on the street, I didn’t expect that to happen. Then I realized that as I was chasing Rowan, I wasn’t keeping track of Elijah…jeez, fun with twins. Luckily, Elijah thought it was a game and ran after me. BTW, Riki said that my German is improving. She’s prolly just sayin’.

The boys have discovered “Pocky”. If you don’t know what that is, it is a pretzel covered in a thin layer of chocolate. It’s made in Japan and we could find it everywhere in Seattle and Hawaii. I haven’t found a place that has it here yet. I took a few out today since they were seeming a little down. I’m trying to teach them new words, even if it is just them copying what I say. Most times they don’t even bother and just stare at me like I’m crazy, but today I asked “Who want’s Pocky?” and I prompted them to say “MEEEEE!”. Silence. Then I asked them again “Who wants Pocky?” and then Rowan said really loud “MEEEEEE!” I thought that was so funny and cute.

In the afternoon, I had a babysitter and met Michael for lunch. I didn’t have to run any other errands, so I just came back home and took a nap. Still nocturnal.

I went to the dentist today because I’ve had some sensitivity in one tooth and I noticed that when I touched a certain area, it would hurt. I thought for sure I had rotten teeth. Well, I do have something but it is so small that he said it’s better if I leave it alone. Since when he fills it he has to make it bigger, he said that it’s just better to wait it out and use sensitive toothpaste. Hmpf.

This evening I worked on the widget. Ran into problems, did workarounds, then ran into other problems, backed changes out, tried other things, and I’m still not done. So frustrating! But I’ve also learned a lot and made really good progress on it, even though it sounds like I didn’t. I haven’t even tackled things like cross browser issues. I mean, who uses anything other than IE? ;)
