We've welcomed Markus to our town. Kicked off the weekend with his first-ever 5k race (we walked so slow I am convinced we came in last place), then he gave a lecture at Walter Reed, then another lecture at Arlington Parent Early Intervention (this link will be posted to YoutTube soon in case you're interested). We've learned a great deal of how tube weaning works and about Markus- he's quite tall, likes to surf, drinks a lot of coffee, won't let us call him doctor, doesn't like mountains, he has a pension for Chuck Taylors and he has a wonderful sense of humor. LJ and Nate have made fast friends with the whisperer. And it is clear Markus loves kids.
I made a lasagna dinner last night. Markus commented that LJ will be a challenge on the tube-weaning-front (he's seen kiddos like this)...and that Josh and I should plan a vacation between now and April because we should be prepared for a lot of tears from EVERYONE during the wean. He asked us to promise that we will make a big celebration when this part of the journey is completed and we finally have an eater. You bet we will have a proper fete to mark the occasion and Markus and LJ's team will certainly be a big part of it!
Today we entertained our friend Max; the lil guys explored a hard-boiled egg, cantaloupe, veggie sticks, banana and cookies. Then Markus and I capped off the afternoon with a private tour of the Pentagon. Tonight, Josh will take Markus to Georgetown to have some "guy time" over a beer or two! To sum it up, its been busy, busy, busy. We're on cloud 9.
