Peer Pressure or Curiosity?

So which is it? I would like to think it is curiosity, but with so many of my friends jumping on the bandwagon, I didn't want to be left in the dust. Hey maybe this will be a good way to get some much needed therapy. Yea, right! More like a good way to procrastinate a little more from everything I should be doing.

Today is definitely a good day to start this. 3 out of the 4 of us are sick! I have been sick for over a week now with a miserable cold. Just when I think it is getting better, bam, it knocks me down again. Emma has been out of school all week. She is one unhappy camper. Not because she is sick, but because I won't let her go to school. And then poor Timmy gets it. We all know that this could lead to more than a cold with him. Please keep your fingers crossed. David left today for work saying his throat hurt and he felt congested, UGH!!! I don't think we can all be sick together. It should be a long weekend of fun in the house, NOT!

Let's see, it is only 11:00 and we are watching Dumbo for the 2nd time today. Why is it that children need to watch the same thing over and over again. They study it and love knowing what to expect. Huh, I guess I answered my own question. I love hearing Timmy talk to the movie and repeat some of what is going on.

On the speech front, Timmy is making progress. He is saying a lot more words and even putting them together. It will be crazy here once he really catches on. I don't know if David and I are really ready for both of them to be talking to us. On Monday he gets his re-evaluation for OT. Let's hope they can shed some light on his sensory issues. I don't think I can express how much I LOVE this kid!!

Emma speech is coming along also. She only needs it for articulation. It is taking longer than I thought it would be her to catch on. I am a little concerned with that. Her frustration level is heightened in this area. She really is a great kid. I am so hard on her. I'm not sure why, but I am concious of it and hope that I can let up. I lost a lot of our bond when I was in the hospital for 6 weeks pregnant with Timmy. Some of it is gone for good, but I am going to start working on rebuilding the parts I can. It is sad that it took me 2 years to see our relationship needs work. I love her so much, but I feel there is a distance between us. If I feel it, you know she does also.

I need to end this long post now. The little man is into the puzzles. I don't want to sit all afternoon putting them together.

Thanks for reading. I'm not sure if I will keep this up or not. Time will tell!
