Day 1393. It seems that Emmy gets up earlier and earlier, while they go to bed later, usually they don't sleep before 9 pm any more. This morning he and then the others were up really early again and, of course, Emmy would not let me sleep. After breakfast, they did pretty well dressing themselves; they are able to do so more and more.

Day 1392. This morning we left the house just after 9:30 to take the 9:50 train. After a one-month-long break it was time for their swim class again. A month ago the season for outside swimming had just started, but it was still too cold. For today they had announced the first really hot day, so perfect weather to explore the outside at the pool for the first time.

Day 1391. Sammy wears braces at night to keep his feet flexed, but the ones he's had for this past year have been falling apart. They said they could get him new ones before our trip, so we had to accept a 9 am appointment on Thursday morning. That meant that Randy and Sammy had to leave the house at 8 am, which is mighty early for us.
