Can you tell the days are getting nicer! We are out and about more! Yeah. Everyday I thank God for what a blessing the boys are. Just so much fun and so neat to see each of their personalities emerging. B is down to his last 3 weeks of preschool! Once that is done, we will have no weekly commitments for the summer, except J's therapy. He is making good progress and one of my friends commented just this past week how much more he is 'talking'. (He has even started 'praying' before meals and at bedtime....when it is his turn, we just hear lots of babbling and then an amen, but hey, I know God understands....) He is being evaluated on Thursday by a Physical Therapist to see if there are any balance/control issues. Both of the boys had their yearly check-ups this past week. B got his 5 year shots, 3 of them, and did not even flinch. He was sitting in my lap and I could not believe how well he did. J did not get any shots. They both got good bill of health and the doctor was very impressed with both of them.
The potty training slowly continues. We are still not really on top of it like we should be for it to all come together but he is still doing good. I am trying to get the boys back into a morning and evening routine. I still have not found that one 'motivator' for B to get him to clean up, etc. He sure is great at trying to pass off any 'chores' to his brother!
Tomorrow we are headed on a short road trip. Just really wanting to get out of town for the day and go eat at one of my favorite restaurants for Mother's Day. The best chicken fried steak I have found in these parts.
JR finished his first week back at work this week. Yeah, after 10 weeks off, we were all ready for the change. He is still at 32 hours but hopefully it will pick back up to 40 hours in the next month or so.
Went out hiking with the boys today. Their first hike of the season. It was all uphill and B made it the whole 3 miles up! That was further than mom made it - I was not 100% today. J did fairly well and walked the first 30 minutes and then opted for the backpack. Really hoping to get some hikes in every week. Really hoping both boys take to hiking without too much grumbling. They seem to both be motivated by the Gatorade!
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms!!!
