Still sick...

We are all battling the sniffles now, so there's not a ton to update on right now.  Here are a few stories:

If any of you have kids under 4, you are probably familiar with the Wiggles.  We sing a song by the group at the library every week, "Can You Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist."  A usually watches the kids, but this week, he joined in.  He now asks multiple times a day to dance to the song (which I downloaded for him).  It's pretty cute to see him doing the twist, and he can actually stand on one foot for a few seconds (which is in one of the verses).  It's pretty cute.

We've got a few new words this week: "pop" (as in "pop the bubble") and "up".  It's pretty hard to say no when A stands at my legs, hands in the air saying "up".  And, we have a word that sounds closer to grandma.  It's more of guh-guh, but it beats the "k" that we've been hearing for grandma.  We had our first meeting with A's new speech teacher this week, and it went really well.  He qualified  for free services through the county, so they will come out to our house twice a month to work on verbal communication.  I'm really excited about  it, and he loved playing with her.  

We made some "finger paint" earlier this week (vanilla pudding with food coloring).  A loved painting, though I think he liked eating the paint more than putting it on the paper.  He would scoop some paint onto his finger, do an  obligatory dot or two on the paper and then eat the rest off his hand.  He was a mess, but it was fun.  Here are a couple pics of him "painting".

It's been awhile...

I'm back for a quick post. Here's what's been going on at our house:

1- My allergies are back and coming on full force. I have almost no voice and am struggling with sleeping since I can't breathe.

2- A is getting his 2 year molars. He's been grumpy (understandably so), but he's hanging in there. It's been a long week for him, and the teeth haven't even broken through the skin yet.

3- P is still recovering from a knee injury. He's spending most of his time on crutches, and the rest of the time finishing up our home projects.

Combine those three, and it's been hard to get around to blogging. Soon, we'll have the house on the market and hopefully we'll all be back to our normal healthy selves. Until then, hope you are all doing well.

And... you can check out our house website. It's not finished, but you'll get the picture for now.
