My split personality

By the "Bonfire"

He loves his brother!

His new found talent of cutting with scissors

So that last post left me feeling yucky.... this is what I do. I get it off my chest, then realize I'm being too negative and I need to focus on good things and switch my personality to being happy and want to then talk about the happy stuff. See how much money I save from not going to therapy... I just hurt the brains of my husband and friends by asking them to keep up with my thought processes.

I just tried to find a picture to go with my last negative post, and while looking through them all I smiled over and over about the wonderful moments I've captured of the very subjects that I complain about. If I was sleeping more, I would miss the newest things:

We thought Jack may have some autistic tendancies ( I am not one to jump on the band-wagon of something is wrong w/ my kid but some of it was pretty obvious for awhile - and he was very behind on many things) BUT... he is really progressing finally and now can successfully go up and down my parents back steps by himself, he interacts and plays and laughs with his brother and sister, he always responds when called now, he drinks only from a cup, he points to our noses and is starting to follow directions. He gives kisses and can master any toy put in front of him. He still doesn't talk, at all but he will. We've decided he's just absorbing everything and any day now, he's just going to recite a novel. LOL

Kyla has a new favorite song. It's called "Everything" by Buck Cherry. She totally rocks it. She sings everyword in the tune of the song and ideally dances around while singing like she's in a mosh pit or something. Kade is even starting to sing the chorus with her. She can write a full page of words if I spell the unknown words out for her and she is an expert "cutter"

Kade has learned to use scissors as well, he is so proud! As am I. He now jumps with 2 feet every where he possibly can. He jumps from high places to low places, he jumps over everything on the floor and trys to stack things up to jump over them. His brain thinks faster than he can talk and so sometimes his words come out too fast and are hard to understand, but as his mommy I can usually interpret very well. Although he does beat up his sister atleast once a day, he LOVES her and his brother very much. When Kyla isn't there, he must call her on the phone- one time they talked for 15 minutes! It was the most wonderful heart warming thing in the world. He likes to clean and have things in their place. I LOVE that.

Oh, and the good thing about it getting dark at 5:00 is that my kids love "bonfires" as they call them. Any kind of fire outside is called a bonfire. They love getting bundled up and sitting on big huge chairs around the fire (o:

OK, I feel much better now.
