This past week or so, has been pretty good at the Shroyer Home Front!!!!! Just seems we go with the motions and yet another week goes by, so crazy how fast time is going. As a matter of fact, Ethan just celebrated his 100th day of school last week! WOW!!! Crazy to think that the year will soon be a memory and summer break will be here! I have to admit, winter always does something to my emotions and this year is no different.....I get so sad about life and how quickly things are going that it drives me batty and then I kick into high gear, to only be exhausted from all the mental strain....I know, I know I do it to myself and trying my hardest to stop it.....I've been staying active and making sure we live life to the fullest, we enjoy each and every night with the boys, so that helps! Anyway, this month has been great for Ethan at school he has reached his sight word goal, met the 100 book challenge, and celebrated his 100 days. He loves kindergarten so much, he doesn't want to go to 1st grade....hahaha!! I tell ya, this boy, he gets so attached to things!!! Right now, it's me....man, his separation anxiety is getting the best of him and I can't go anywhere and I mean the next room even! Ugh, not sure how to help him w/ that, but reassure him I'm not going anywhere and when I tell him something, mean it and do it....like picking him up from school or "just visiting" grandma and grandpa, etc....God love him, but honestly, Mommy needs a break sometimes....I just keep telling myself I will miss this one day, so I don't get upset, just talk him through it and give a lot of hugs & kisses. ;)

On another note, this little boy, sure has come a long way, too....just like his brother! Colin, has sure been changing these days! We are working with him on another round of a home based program from the Brain Balance Center and so far, so good. His olfactory exercises (scent) has proved to be helping in the potty area. He's been w/o a pull-up, except bedtime, for over a week now and we are doing really well. He's had 4 accidents, but hey, I'll take it. He's such a good boy and truly changing, we just love the patience, joy, love that he has brought to this family! Man, I owe a lot to him.....
