A Change

Dear Avril,

Well, you had quite a cranky spell this month which we think is related to teething, but we're not sure (i was relieved to hear that the doctor said it wasn't something contagious like chicken pox). you lost your appetite, had a bad rash all over your body and generally were listless and crabby. Thank goodness that didn't last very long; you were back to your cheerful self after a couple of days and now have 8 teeth! Your vocabulary is growing rapidly too (your favourite words are 'shoe', 'doggie' and 'coat' right now), and this week you learned 'tree' and 'key'. Your mom's hard work paid off and we believe we've found a very good person to take care of you - you seemed to really like the play room and weren't afraid of Rose or her children at all. You'll probably miss Karen and your friends after she moves and you make the switch, but there will be new friends to make and new adventures to have.
