Our normal

Life is back to our normal. Both kids are back at baseline. Lydia has even gone to sleep before midnight a couple of times this week.

Brent and my dad worked on the bathroom more on Saturday... we have a bathtub again!!! Deconstruction is all done and reconstruction has begun. Maybe someday we will have a master bathroom again and maybe someday I will be able to park in the garage again as that is where all the bathroom stuff is right now. Little steps!

Mom and I went through the kids clothes on Saturday and did the season change. That is not one of my favorite tasks however it always feels good to have it done. It is also nice that Lydia has started to grow out of some 12mo clothes... although she still is too little around the waist for 18mo so she is interesting to dress right now. Jilli is hanging out between 4T, 4 and 5T depending on the cut... some 4T are too short in the legs but some 5T are way too long and big around.

Tonight we are packing for RMH again. We have GI this week. We had a phone meeting with Special Needs on Friday. I am so thankful for them. They helped to resolve a situation that has been very stressful and I am so thankful for their help. They are also helping to get some more answer for us about NIH.

Jilli is doing really well with speech. We are already seeing a difference after just a few weeks. I am so thankful for our amazing therapists and all they do to help the girls.

What have I been up to? If you read my last post really carefully you can find out what I have been very busy doing. Yes that was a more political post but there is a little gem of something very exciting that I am up to hidden in there.

School is going really well. Some days she is 5 and doesn't want to do her work however most of the time she gets right down to work and does a great job.

Lydia blows us away all of the time with what she is learning. She started singing the ABCs in Spanish the other day while watching Sesame Street. Today she was chewing on a frozen teether (on of her favorite things in the world!) and it was a square. She looked at me and pointed to her teether and said "four angles" and pointed to the corners. I said yes there are 4 corners. She looked at her teether again and said "rhombus"... I look at her like "where did you learn rhombus?" She loves counting to 14 and pointing out letters.

Well back to getting stuff done and maybe listening to a few podcasts while I am at it. Lydia has made herself comfortable in the recliner watching Peppa Pig and Jilli is playing Playmobil. 





















When I put the hat on her she said "ho,ho,ho, merry christmas!"
