too busy with Drake to write!

Drake is still my best little buddy. He misses his daddy and mama, but talks to them often. I don't think that's enough for him, but it's what we've got right now. He's happy, healthy and oh so smart. The alphabet is still something he obsesses over, but he knows it (upper and lower case) and he knows the sounds the letters make. He's really getting close to being ready to read. He can be restless at night (he's at my house Sunday thru Thurs afternoon) so I sleep in his room often. He'll call out "Mop?" or fling an arm or leg over to see if I'm there in the wee hours. At 2 1/2 he is still not potty trained, but he can talk about it intelligently. That's some sort of progress, right?
