I'm afraid we've really entered into the trying two's. I take back several months ago when I announced we were in the trying two's because that was nothing compared to the now. My stars! We need a patience tank installed in our home that works like oxygen, just pumping patience on high throughout the house. Oh, and one for the car. To their defense, the house is still not put back together. We've hit some delays with the windows and it looks like it'll be close to 10 more days. I've already hit my limit several times during this process but now I've decided the break is good. The kitchen is now complete minus just one window (we have 3) and it looks really good. Ricky and I are very pleased with it. The plan was to have the base, crown, and closet remodel before we leave for vacation next month so the painters could paint while were were gone but I think we are going to wait until later in the year or next year. We did too much at once and have learned our lesson.
We have a very busy week this week. Brody has an appointment with his retina specialist tomorrow. It's downtown and he is a work in which means the appointment is at 3:30. I'll have to take all three by myself and fight rush hour on the way home...yay :| He really needs to see the doctor though. Since he got his new glasses he's been falling a lot. He is actually doing better without the glasses. We've kept them off of him for several days and you would never know he is legally blind. It's really very amazing and such a blessing. When he was in the NICU and got ROP they lasered all the nerves around his eye and they don't come back. For him to have went through what he did, we are very lucky of the vision he has.
Tuesday all three have a checkup with our Pediatrician. Usually kids go at age 3 but he likes to check up on us more often. I am so thankful we've made it through the flu season and all the other germs so well. They really only got that stomach virus which is way better than respiratory issues.
Wednesday all five of us have a dentist appointment. That should be fun. The kids' pediatric dentist sold his practice and mine and Ricky's dentist doesn't see pediatrics so I found a new dentist that will see all of us. The kids have done really well in the past with the dentist so I'm not worried about it.
Thursday I have a meeting. Brody's vision teacher is going with me to meet with the school about PPCD. I know, I've said no so many times but she keeps telling me to at least meet with them and Ricky and I trust her opinion so very much so I am. In a way I'd love for my kids to be able to attend the program on the speech entry only because it would save us a lot of money we are spending on preschool but I want the best fit possible for them. I want them to be somewhere they'll thrive and if we need to keep spending all the money on preschool then okay because we've budgeted for it. So many decisions to make...
A couple of sweet things happened this weekend. Saturday I was doing the girls' hair and when I finished
Brody to Gracie: You are gorgeous
Gracie: Thank you Bubby
Brody to Madi: You are gorgeous
Madi: Thank you
The other day he and I were "talking"
Brody: Hi Mommy
Me: Hi Brody! I love you!!
Brody: Thank you Mommy
I mean how precious is this little blond haired blue eyed boy!!!
What takes the cake is when they each put their little hands together and we pray and they say "AMEN"!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this life of mine!!!
