Tom & Tami October update

Tom - has started up hockey again. He has been training hard for the St. George marathon which is on Oct. 6th. He's happy to have his friend Dustin Pearson moving back to Utah after three years in Chicago. The movie he and Tami watched in September was "An Affair to Remember" (referred to a lot in Sleepless in Seattle).

Tami - survived her first month of preschool. She's enjoying her new classes and teaching seems to be getting easier each year.

Lily - started playing soccer last month. She does really well when she wants to. As with everything, it has to be her decision to play, so one game she could be laying in the middle of the field and the next game she'll be kicking the ball all the way to the goal. She is having a hard time with preschool this year and says she's bored in preschool. It will be nice in kindergarten when she has someone else besides mom teaching her.

Jefferson - has had a rough month. He went through a clingy (yes, worse than he already was), crying, violet phase when preschool started. He wasn't use to leaving mom everyday, and two of the days he didn't have Lily with him either. However, he's finally doing better, he's still clingy though. He started going through a no-sleeping phase too where he was getting up at 6:30am, not napping well and taking sometimes an hour to fall asleep at night. One positive milestone for Jefferson, was he finally learned out to say "Mom"!
