5/6/1982: Michael now goes up and down stairs without holding onto anyone or anything. In fact, when I tried to hold his hand he pushed it away.
5/8/1982: Peter’s biting is getting to be a problem. Nothing we do seems to deter him. When he gets frustrated & angry he bites. Michael’s arms are bruised all over from Peter’s attacks.

The boys went to their first softball game of the season. They were more interested in running around than watching the game. Naturally they went in opposite directions just to keep me busy. I don’t know if I will ever get all the dirt out of their clothes!
5/18/1982: Peter has the flu. He has vomiting and diarrhea and is just miserable. I’m miserable too. I hate it when the children are sick. We’ve postponed the dinner with the Hayhurst’s till next week
5/19/1982: Hayhursts 6:30
5/20/1982: Michael fell down the stairs today. I didn’t see it happen because I was changing Peter (he still has diarrhea) but I think he was walking up dragging his blanket and got caught in it. Fortunately he was more scared than hurt.
5/21/1982: Michael took a dive off the top of his crib tonight right onto the top of his head. His nose was all scraped up and when we were cleaning him up he went out like a light. I got Nikki to watch Peter while we took Michael to the hospital. They said he appeared to be fine but we had to wake him up every 3 hours.
5/22/1982: Richmonds
We postponed going to the Richmonds today. We had already decided not to go because Peter is still having diarrhea but after being up every 3 hrs with Michael, that clinched it.

5/27/1982: Circle Luncheon 12:15
5/29/1982: So much has happened today, I could write a book. On top of having a lot of people coming for the weekend, my kitchen sink and disposal went on the fritz. No one is going to be sent to fix it till Tues.
5/30/1982: We went to Katherine and Jon’s today and had a very nice time. They have a lovely house.

We had a great picnic with the softball team. To top it all off, the team won.
