so far, so good

Well, we took the plunge and put up a Christmas tree. It is in the corner between two couches for maximim security. So far, Lewis has shown relatively little interest in it, though he has pulled off an ornament here or there, and tried to pull off a few more without success. The cat on the other hand is known to sit up in the tree (not too far up, mind you), re-living the days of her youth when she had claws and could climb trees outside at will.





















Otherwise, Lewis has been enjoying walking around outside a lot!! He loves being out there and cries whenever we come inside. He has also become an avid reader, looking at books on his own and bringing us books he wants us to read to him. He is loving building towers with his blocks, and can stack them pretty high all by himself. He is quite proud when he can get that next block on top of an already high tower. Of course, he loves knocking down the towers too.

He got us excited last week at a therapy session when he clapped on his own. Once he realized what he was doing he stopped immediately. He wouldn't want to let on that he can do some of this stuff! What a puzzle he is sometimes. But we love him!
