Mark Webber
02
Dec
Nathan hasn’t seen much television in his nearly three years of his life, and he pretty much thinks that about all you see on the box is car racing. And no matter what type of car racing is on, Mark Webber will be racing. He has to be one of Mr. Webber’s youngest fans.
When we were at the polling booth on Saturday, Andrew asked Nathan who he was going to vote for. Nathan thought for a short time and then declared “Mark Webber!”. In the supermarket Nathan has occasionally pointed out to me a photo of Mark Webber in his formula 1 car on the Red Bull six-packs.
So we decided to take Nathan to Angus and Robertson in the city today to meet Mark Webber at his book signing. We got there 40 minutes before the man was supposed to arrive, and already the line was more than a block long. I baulked at the idea of trying to entertain two restless children on the street while in line for about an hour, so we went to look at the kids books and got a glimpse of Mark Webber through a pane of glass after he arrived. And you know what? That was exciting for Nathan.
Walking

Dec
Toby has been taking small, single steps for over a month now. He would take a small step with one foot and then sort of shuffle the other foot forward as well. That was about all he could manage for what seemed like a long time. Then he went for a week without us observing any steps at all. Then, suddenly, he started taking multiple steps. Each one is very careful and small, but he is now doing more and more walking every day. The following video was taken 4 days ago because he was taking multiple steps, and he has improved his walking a lot since then.
Well, the video isn’t working right now so I’ll have to try to fix it later. It can also be found here.
