One on One

 Today was special!

Evey did not have a nurse today so Joshua and I took turns staying at home with her. I stay with her in the morning so that I could take her to her PT evaluation and Joshua took the afternoon. Evey was so happy to have one on one time with both of us without the others at home. 

Evey LOVED her new PT and the room that she will be learning all of her skills. She was most excited about the full wall mirror so that she could see herself move and talk. After we got home she was super hungry so I gave her a snack and then we played and folded laundry. She is practicing more and more how to put puzzle pieces back into their spot. She is really determined. After she played for a while she was hungry again so we ate an early lunch. She gobbled down scrambled eggs and cut up pork chops. 


When Joshua got home, he put her down for a nap, fed her a snack and took her outside. This weather we have this week is so nice and I am excited to get home every night to spend some time outside with all of the kids. She had a blast being outside. We came in for dinner and she scarfed down tator tots and half of a cut up corn dog. She loved every bit of it. She played some more after dinner and then we headed for bed. 


She was in a playful mood tonight. As I sang Twinkle Twinkle, she giggled and giggled. I would sing the last part of each line in a low voice and she thought it was the funniest thing. She is growing up so fast and I can't wait to see her take her first steps! 

Be like a bee- hardworking, wise and delicate!

SUCCESS!

 Grumpy Happy Grumpy, Happy! That was the pattern for today. Evey slept in until 6:15 this morning and when I went into her room she greeted me with a solid, "heeeeey". I got her up and brought her into our room to get dressed but she soon got agitated when Mr. Ty smothered her with hugs and kisses. I brought her downstairs to eat her daily waffle and she did not want anything to do with it. She drank some of her milk but was not interested in that either. I ended up bolus ( BIG 2oz Syringe) feeding the rest  through her gtube and when she leaned forward it all came out of her mouth. I had to change her outfit. When she saw her nurse and changed her outfit she became a happy little girl who played while mommy worked on school stuff. She worked on getting in the crawling position with the nurse and pulling up on the nurse from sitting position. She even played at her activity table on her knees. All that working made her poop TWICE today. They were still hard but the nurse rea...

We got hit!

  The stomach bug came swiftly through our house. Thankfully only Evey and I have gotten it, but it took me and Evey out yesterday and today. I made it to work, but I was super tired and had to move slow. In hindsight, I should have stayed home to sleep it off, but with Joshua working the middle school game, I had to make sure the kids had a ride home. Evey is still getting over it and was super tired today and did not want to eat or drink. I had to give everything  through the gtube. Hopefully tomorrow she will want to eat.  This weekend before all the sickness hit us, we had fun! We were able to go to a new antique shop and look around. Laney found some cute earrings and a cup. I found a cute chair for our dining room, the boys found a sticker for their water bottles and Joshua found a piece of history. The boys got a haircut and Evey was able to relax. We tried a new trick to help her start using her pincer grasp and she loved it! She has definitely learned how to hold...

Perspective

As teachers we are able to get a 7-8 week break between June and August. Some people wonder why we get the break while others understand why we get the break. For us, we are able to spend more time with our children together as a family without having to worry about lesson plans, parents, administration etc. We really get to focus on our relationship with each other and with each of our kids. It really is a blessing to be able to be at home with them during the summer break.  A lot of people ask how Joshua and I manage being around each other all the time especially since we teach at the same school. It's not easy but it's not hard either. We choose to make it easy or make it hard. Have there been arguments? Of course! Have there been times where we each feel like we need a break from the kids for "me" time? YES! Have we had to sit the kids down and talk to them about how to communicate better with each other? YES!  Throughout the whole summer we have each learned tha...
