Speech Therapy

-
Josy is still going to speech therapy. He’s making so much progress with his taking that I’m no longer worried that he’ll never talk. He’s just behind and that’s okay. At this point, he’s missing a lot of the filler words, but he knows enough nouns and verbs to get his points across. But he’s definitely missing all the little words (in, the, to, etc). 

He’s also getting quite the sense of humor. It’s really fun to watch. Every day Gabe announces that he wants oatmeal for breakfast. The other day I asked the boys what they wanted and Josy said “Beyo (Gabriel). Want. Oat. Meal.” Last night I asked the boys what they wanted for dinner, suggesting pizza or something else. Josy talked “o night oats!” (which happens to be his favorite breakfast…) It’s just fun to watch him actually have opinions and not just repeat stuff…

Anyway, he’s still going to speech therapy. On Thursday we meet up with his therapist and we went to the park to play. (It was play outside or do zoom therapy. Easy decision…)



We had quite the snowball fight…



Josy was very proud of his baby snowman.





Best therapy ever.

And then we had hot chocolate to warm back up.

Easter Eggs and Cars

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
