Hello, hello....not much going on at our house these days, it was a pretty lazy weekend and the start of our week, as well. The winter months bring out the lazy in us and honestly, I truly don't mind it. We find things to do at home game nights, movie nights, dancing, singing, etc.....so, this winter, has started out to be just the same. We have added a new game to our list and that's ZAP! ZAP, is Ethan's sight word game and that gets played every single night, so we've turned it into a fun night of learning. Colin, gets right in there, too and after Monday, he has a whole new set of "homework" things to do, so we are busy bees. I kind of feel bad, because our life as turned into a very anti-social one, but truly it's not done on purpose, it's just the way its turned out seeing everything that we need to get done on a daily basis w/ the boys. No complaints, but any free time we get Brenton and I are mentally exhausted and just want a cold beer and a few minutes of couch time to recoup. We finally understand the saying "What you do for your kids"!!! LOL.....
Anyway, on another note, we had our 6 month check-up at the Brain Balance with Colin on Monday and I was so happy to go over his progress report with Wendy. She just kept writing and writing, as I told everything he's been doing. That did my heart good, to realize, he's really coming along. She was pleased, as well. We still have to work on his social anxiety, but I truly don't know how that will happen, but just forcing him to be uncomfortable for a few minutes until he calms down and realizes he's not in harms way.....he cried when we first walked in the building, but then about 5 minutes he was walking around, singing, and talking "Colin Talk" to all the parents waiting on their children. He warmed up pretty quick! Anyway, we were so pleased and Wendy gave us a new "program" to work with him on and so, today, I made us a spreadsheet and will start doing the new program starting on Monday. That gives me time to get all his scents in place and new things we need to prepare for, so that way we can start fresh. I'm so excited about this and realize we are headed in the right direction for Colin, that the realization of the tuition, is not even a matter to be concerned with. The best part, we have options and I thank my husband, because the money saver that he is will sure pay off! I love him so much, because he always sees the future and I am more a here in now type of girl, so him and I offset each other and it works out great. This situation is yet another reason I love him so, because he didn't even blink an eye.....our whole thing is helping Colin and we feel we are being lead the Brain Balance way, so Brenton is right on board and he was the one telling me, "don't worry, it's not even a question what we have to do, so don't think about the tuition"!!! Man, I love that man....So, long and short of it, our sweet baby boy is on a great track and it's only going to get better.....YAY!!!
