Transition week
DS1 is "transitioning" from his 1-2 year olds room to the 2-3 year olds room this week. At lunch I peeked in on him in the older room. They were just getting ready for nap. His (current) teacher told me that he went over there before breakfast & was doing very well. I think it helped that one of the assistants that has been in his room all semester is in the older room 2 days a week for the summer (and today was the first day of that schedule). I hope things go well this week!

Car trouble
On the way home from work Tuesday night, we lost power steering. We were only about a mile from home, so I figured I could make it. About a block later, the "electrical systems" light (the battery shaped one) came on. I drove slowly. Soon the temperature started to rise. When it hit the red I pulled over and stopped. We walked home from there. Fortunately it was only about 5 more blocks, no more than 1/2 a mile. After we got home, DH reminded me that the wagon was in the trunk. Oh well. DS2 rode in the sling, and DS1 did really well walking. He held my hand and we went "fast" a few times for fun.
Yesterday and today we have been down to 1 car. The good news is that we know that both carseats will fit in "Daddy's car" now. The bad news is that it is costing over $800 to fix things. We want to get a new vehicle and are hoping to be able to hold out and wait until Toyota's hybrid SUV comes out next spring. DH's parents have a Prius now and really like it. We have ridden in it (before kids) and liked it too, but it's not big enough for all 4 of us + luggage. Hopefully the car will be ready at the end of the day today, like the serviceman said yesterday.
