My wonderful, glorious, relaxing, 12 days of holiday break are over. I'm back to work.
Of course, nothing turned out like I had originally planned over the holiday break. We didn't make a trip to Manistee. We took 2 trips to Bronson in it's place. Jacob and I both caught colds and we didn't have much Daddy time either. We did go out to lunch with our friend Lisa. We played a lot of trains. Jacob and I went to see the woo-woos quite a few times, and we celebrated his sister's 1st birthday.
Jacob started with his new therapists this morning. I sent Daddy armed with some questions on Jacob's sensitivities and some seemingly OCD type things. I've noticed more of Jacob's picky-ness lately. Tags in shirts really bother him, he's obsessed with the fuzz in his toes. At first, it was kind of funny, those little quirky things but, now he's expressing more and more of them. We also have his 3 year check-up tomorrow and I'll discuss some of his progresses/digressions and some of these quirks with him too.
We've also been contemplating potty training at our house. I took a little potty training readiness quiz on-line last night (I'm a dork!) and according to that, the potty training DVD sent to me by a certain brand of diaper, and a little more research, we're not ready. Daddy was also planning to ask the therapists about that today too. With Jacob's development and speech delays, we don't think he's communicative enough to start yet. So, we'll revisit that issue over the summer.
I gave you a small sampling of what we have in store for us this year. We hope you continue to follow along with us and see what happens, where we go, what we do - and we have some cool things planned this year! It's never a dull moment at our house and I hope to write more about the craziness that goes on. Especially the stupid shit I manage to say or do! I'll be following along with my blog friends too - Aubrey and her 3 beautiful kids, Em and her hearts desire to have a child, and Kate's first year as a mom. I know I can't wait to see what's ahead!
I can't wait to be following along. I am glad you won't push potty training. It just never works out like you'd have hoped. And when they're ready...it just seems simpler.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sad that all the time you think you'll have to get stuff done seems to go away so quickly leaving you sad it didn't get finished? Ugh!!
I also can't wait to continue to follow along - to read about all of your adventures and watch Jacob grow.
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes for an exciting and happy 2009 for all.
