Life As We Know It!

So far, this week, has been a good one......Ethan is doing much better at school this week, he is getting bones again (YAY) and Colin, had a great day at speech on Monday.  Overall, things seem to be looking up for the week and I couldn't be happier.  Tuesday, my dad stopped in and we headed over to McDonald's for lunch.....Colin got to play, have nuggets, and I got to enjoy my iced tea.  Moments like that, I get to see first hand and I'm amazed how God works, b/c I was so frustrated at Colin that morning and my dad stopping at that given moment unannounced, helped me to refocus and take a look at the situation.....Realizing, that the world I see, is quite different than how Colin sees it.  Colin, is not a pleaser and he WILL NOT do something just because I want him to......he, is in charge (for the most part) and I know it right now, but sometimes I just want to scream at his stubbornness....LOL!!  I'm truly hoping that with the speech therapy, we can start communicating better with one another and I won't have to "guess" so much!  I love that little guy so very much and he holds a very special place in his mama's heart, but I think that's where my frustration lies to be quite honest, is not knowing right away what he needs and then his frustration comes, b/c I don't know right away....hahaha!!!  Now, I say this, but also know he now is listening better, focusing on you & what you say, and will do little commands so honestly, he's truly a 3 year old and has the best of his Mommy & Daddy.....POOR KID!!! Anyway, like I said my dad was the answer to a prayer and he got us away for a little while and I got a chance to regroup.  Unfortunately though, about 10 other parents had the same idea as we did, b/c that play place was jam packed and Colin was getting run over...didn't seem to phase him any, b/c when it would happen, he'd just come to the table to eat another nugget, and then back to his area he likes to play in.  Too many kids though and after he finished eating, we left......got back home and had a much better afternoon.....

Horton always brings a smile =)

Whoever would've thought, this would feel normal to him?  Never even thought about trying it this way, but Daddy knew and this little boy has now become fond of the potty.....YAY, now to start hardcore....

I finally have done it and went through all the boy's old clothes......WOW, I got pretty emotional with that, but realized very quickly there is no sense in keeping them.  It's time to "pay it forward" and start cleaning out stuff, we are jammed backed in our little mediocre home, so they had to go.....I thought about selling them at the 2nd hand store, but you know, my boss just had a little boy and could use them, so loaded up my car and took them to the office.  I love having our boys, I can't imagine being blessed w/ a third and taking a chance of it being a girl!!!! I have no clue what is in the plans for our future, but Brenton and I, are really content w/ life at this given moment......so, why rock the boat, hahaha!!!
