We are trying to teach Reuben how to say please in sign language rather than screaming each time he wants something. It is very tiring and feels like breaking in a horse! He is as stubborn as I am - oh dear. Hopefully he'll get it soon and the ordeal (well this current one anyway) will be over. Poor kid! Poor parents!!

The weather is starting to get a little warmer consistently- this after a week week of snow and very cold to then 75 a few days later. It's no wonder there are so many colds around!
