JB has gotten authorization from insurance to start PT. The report came back that he is below normal range is several different areas in regards to balance and strength. We ordered him some chewelry, in hopes that he will wear it and chew on it than other choking hazards. I talked with a speech therapist down in Austin (thanks Jan for hooking me up). She said everything she has heard it sounds like we are doing all the right things. She did say if it were apraxia that it is a very long road. Still searching out options to get him around other 2 year olds. A much harder thing than one would think.

B has gotten a part in the 2nd grade Christmas program. He is Donner, the reindeer. The only bad thing about it, is that the 2nd grade and the Kindergarten Christmas programs are on the same evening, 30 minutes a part. Still not sure how I am going to manage that one. B has also taken an interest in Sudokus. I have never done them but find that I could get lost in them. I really enjoy them. I am glad that he and I are finding some common interests. He has also taken a liking to one of my all time favorite Christian artists...Rich Mullins (he died in 1997 in his mid 40s). The song Awesome God is played over and over in our car!

This past weekend I went to see the local high school put on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. I have always enjoyed musicals and the theatre, but for obvious reasons, not been to many. That hopefully will change. I already have plans to go see 'White Christmas' this holiday season. I even checked out Sound of Music from the library this week and have been singing and dancing around the house. Usually the only one to join me is JB. If I had all the time in the world, I would love to get back into doing theatrical performances (not that I have done many, but the few I have done, I have thoroughly enjoyed them) and I would also love to expand my musical abilities - through song and an assortment of instruments that are long neglected in our house (keyboard, harmonica and guitar). Lord willing, some day!

Time to get the kids ready for bed.
