No news is good news? and other daily happenings

Well, as usual I am getting to my posting a bit later than I intend, but at least I am trying to keep at it once or twice a month. So far all is well in the Wilkison household. Jacob is coming off yet another medicine and seems to be holding steady at the same amount of seizures per day. Josh is enjoying school still and has made lots of friends and even went to his first school friend birthday party (as you can see had a great time).
We still have not heard anything new from Seattle Children's Hospital, and I am thinking I either need to get over my feeling that I am bugging them and just give in and start calling every day to get things done myself, or just sit back and relax and take things as they come (that one I am not good at though, although my argument to myself would be that even with the seizures Jacob has, he is still doing remarkably well).

Jacob's new obsession is climbing into things. He for some reason loves laundry baskets especially, and I will often find him getting into a pile of clothes I am trying to fold, or clothes I have folded and left for Rick to put away. This has gotten him into a bit of trouble recently though. I was working on the computer the other day while he was playing in his room and suddenly I heard some crying. I went to investigate and found him. Apparently he decided that if the toys are comfortable in the toy bin in his closet, then he could be too (to his surprise). I had to dig him out. We will see if he does that again. So far we are back to staying with laundry baskets.

We had our first snow fall of the season, and Josh was so excited when he got up that he ran upstairs, got dressed all by himself (which he has know how to do for a long time, but since

Jacob has been born, every morning says in his most whiney voice "I can't do it all by myself, I don't know how"), and went out in the snow before he had even thought about breakfast. It melted off later that day, but the next morning started again and now seems to be here to stay at least for a little while. We got Jacob dressed for it too, but he did not seem quite as impressed.
We spent a nice Thanksgiving with my sister Shaun and her family, while my Mom and other sister Erin were in Italy spending some time exploring. Now we are just getting ready for the Christmas season and I can't believe it is already the end of November. Boy how time flies anymore.
