Hmmm, what have we been up to the past few weeks?! Everything! Where should I start?
David - he's 10!!!!! I cannot even believe it! We spent the day celebrating this monumental birthday at Universal Studios, we had a great time! Let me back up - the day before his birthday, we were supposed to have a small get together at the house with cake and ice cream. Didn't happen. He woke up complaining his belly hurt and then - bam! Puked all over the place!?!? Poor guy. Needless to say, we cancelled the Friday night celebration and luckily, he woke up the next morning feeling much better .. he's doing great in school, as usual :) Just brought home a report card - all A's!!!! He's hooked on the Diary of a Whimpy Kid series and has read every single one of the books in it, including the movie book! David loves reading, always has .. basketball season is underway (8 weeks left) and we thought once it ended, he'd play baseball again but he informed us that he's rather give flag football a try - he said and I quote "I'm already good at soccer and baseball, I want to see how good I am at football" They've been playing it in school which is where the interest came from .. David's definitely a busy boy! Last week, his scout troop visited a local sharing center which provides food, clothing, toiletries, etc .. to people in need - I love that they have trips like this, we feel it's important to learn that not everyone has it as easy as we do .. it's a good reminder for us to be grateful for the things we have and to stop complaining about what we don't. We're so proud of David, he is involved in so many activities/programs - he does his best in all of them ..
Abby - she has been asking a lot of questions lately - why this, why that, how does this work, who is that, what does this mean, etc .. I love her curiosity!! We have been working on rhyming words and now, she tries to rhyme everything she can, it's cute :) We asked her if she was ready to start reading and we think she's just about there - maybe within the next couple of weeks, she'll know some words! She knows how to spell quite a few things: mom, dad, molly, her own name, stop, and sometimes david .. she's so smart!!! Abby loves school and her favorite job there is being in charge of the calendar. Next year, she'll be a part of the VPK program and will be going to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays - she has a good handful of kids that are in her class now that will also be going the same days as her which will be nice. She said that everyone in her class is her friend, except for the 3 boys - she says she doesn't like them. Wonder how long that will last! Ha! Recently, she has outgrown just about her entire wardrobe and she asked me if she could grow her hair like the girl in the movie Tangled aka Rapunzel .. I love the way she thinks about things and how she sees this world - she is full of energy and loves everything!
Molly - she is our sweet girl and lately, we can't get enough of her! Thanks to Ms Jaime, this child has been transformed!! She is talking so much more or at least attempting to - if you're around her enough, you can actually understand a lot of what she is saying .. in addition to behavior therapy, Molly is also receiving speech therapy - we met her new therapist last week. I will admit, I'm not in love with this woman, but I am hoping that she'll grow on me and as long as she is helping my daughter, she's in :) "Thank you" is probably what Molly says most - she'll tell you that for absolutely everything, it's cute! She has been doing My Gym once a week for the past few weeks and loves it! I'm so glad we chose to do this for her! She also loves to climb, jump on the trampoline, sit on the dog, and slam doors - ahh, a 2 year old! She's a lot of fun and just likes being around people .. she's still hooked on her stuffed animals and Yo Gabba Gabba - those songs get stuck in my head!!
As for Jamie and me - we are busy, working parents. I think our weekend away in April is officiall!!! and it can't come soon enough! It's been a long stretch of weeks for the both of us and we could use the break!!! We're supposed to have date night on Tuesday although we can't decide what to do - we have it down to either the Magic game or a movie at the Enzian (cool place with a restaurant and small bar) Either way, I know we'll have a good time - we always do!
I think that's it - our life is pretty much like everyone else's. Same stuff, different day. Just about everything I do is for our kids, everything. I don't mind though, they're my life :) Until next time ...
