We are still alive....
Just have not been focused on computer stuff.
A week ago today we celebrated J's 5th birthday. He had a few friends that we invited to the local donut shop for donut sundaes. Then we headed across the street to burn off all the sugar. The weather got crazy about the time we got to the park. The wind really kicked up and it got cold. The kids were the only ones that did not seem to care.
My mom's week long visit flew by way too fast. I enjoyed lots of little chunks of time getting out of the house. I even stopped the 5am work outs and went during 'normal' hours. I do regret that mistake because it has taken me a few days to get back into the swing of rising early.
B started swim lessons today. One thing the PTC at the school pays for is swim lessons for the second graders. They go once a week for 4 weeks. Will be interesting to see what he thinks about it. They were bused to the local college. Spent part of this past week putting out all new playground sports equipment at the school. This was stuff that was finally bought from the money we raised at the Fun Run last September. Amazing how excited kids get about balls, jump ropes, etc. The playground aides were so appreciative. They kept telling me how much easier their job is now that the kids have things to do during recess.
Yesterday was JB's last day of physical therapy. The therapist told me how much he was chatting. At times I find him imitating me almost word for word. Yeah. I have to catch myself from telling him to be quiet. Let the words flow. Still one of our biggest immediate goals is for him to say 'no' instead of screaming for what he wants, particularly with his brothers. The end of April there is an apraxia workshop a couple of hours away. I am hoping to go as it sounds like lots of practical, hands on things will be taught.
My mom brought her Ipad with her on this trip. The boys really enjoyed playing with it. It was amazing how quickly JB picked it up. There was one application he enjoyed playing with that was geared towards learning words.
A rather quiet weekend and upcoming week. The weather should be nice and hopefully some bike rides and maybe I will remember to take my camera along. Just not a lot of picture taking lately.
