Things to Look Forward to

1.  I'm working on a new design for this blog.  I know I change the background and header every few days, it seems like, but I'm going to do something a little more permanent and fitting that goes with my theme.  No idea how long it's going to take me (depends on whether I actually learn the HTML or fake it with a blogger template), so it'll have to be a surprise, but I love what I have so far.  It's fun, funky, and Fragile X-y.

2.  Tomorrow morning the five of us are heading back to Madison for another study at the Waisman Center.  AJ and I went last November and had a great experience there.  This time both boys are going to participate in a word learning study so the whole family is heading out and treating it like a mini-vacation.  I foresee lots of swimming and McDonalds in our near future.  And lots of coffee.

3.  We are going to see The Wiggles in August!  They added an afternoon show, so we are going to check it out.  It'll be the five of us and Grandma & Grandpa, so we'll have plenty of adults along in case one or both of the boys have problems.  I think the week before, I'm going to call the theater and see if I can bring the kids out there to walk around the auditorium just a little bit, and see the place.  It might make the day of the concert just a little less anxious for the boys if they are at least a little familiar with the theater.  Other suggestions are welcome.  I'm hoping to make this a successful excursion.

That's all!  Have to run and get kids ready for the day and start organizing and packing for the trip.
