Aaron and Lauren babysat last night while Jonathan and I went out for a date, celebrating my being half-way done with CPE. We went to see Toy Story 3, which I admit I wasn't excited about at first. But I have to say, it was surprisingly excellent! Quite a good movie, intricately plotted with no loose ends left at the end. It was definitely worth the 99% on Rotten Tomatoes (Savta and Auntie Lois, that's an internet review site that usually gives scores in the 60th and 70th percentile).
Xander had a great time with them. They were telling us that he talks so much more now than last time they were over (only about a month ago). So just in case anyone's curious, this is what he can say:

Having trouble with "r"s is very common for young children. I was still having trouble when I was in kindergarten and I remember cutting out pictures of big twains and anything that was the color wed! Now, next weekend we'll just have to add the word bubby to that list!
Miss you all. Thanks so much for the updates.
Hugs all around.

I remember I couldn't do "r"s either... Sandra never let me forget my inability to say my own last name. Sigh. :)
