Miscellaneous

I forgot to mention that Nathan and Russell survived their first babysitter on September 20th. Rory and I had a lunch date, as I am wary of having someone else put them to bed. Kerrily seemed to handle them both well, and Russell always enjoys when she babysits. The next test will be how they do this Friday night with a different babysitter that will have to put them both to bed. Thankfully she's older and more experienced, and Russell knows her from church.
We are in unchartered territory, as Nathan now sucks his thumb. Russell never mastered getting it into his mouth. We're trying to get him to take a pacifier rather than letting him suck his thumb (even though Rory is a dentist we don't want him to have braces), but he doesn't keep it in his mouth. He'll use his tongue to spit it out.
