What Have We Been Up To?

I could tell you about the sweet little Coach bag I picked up at the mall on Sunday. (Happy Mother's Day to me!) I could even tell you about the awesome deal I got on it. (25% and another 20% - woooohooo)

I could tell you about going out to lunch with my sister friends and having a wonderful time.

I could tell you about the new computer Is.aac gave me for my birthday. It is leaner and meaner than my little Toshiba I was using before. I heart it.

I could tell you about how Ja.ck consistently slept for four hours in a row two nights ago and how I happy I was that I was going to finally get more sleep. And then I could tell you that he went back to waking up every two and  half hours the next night. :-)

I could also tell you about how my heart swells every single time Ja.ckson flashes his toothless grin at me. I could even tell you how my eyes flood with tears when he starts to coo back to me when I talked to him.

I could tell you that Sh.awn has been quizzing me on the alphabet. He'll ask me to tell him the letter names and sounds to see if I know them. If I give him a wrong answer, he is delighted to correct me. When I ask him the same questions back without first answering, he'll give me all the correct answers and is even adding new words daily for each sound. Words we haven't talked about at all!

I could tell you that Ja.son had his state agency evaluation today. I could add how inherently wrong I find it that I have to take my child to "experts" to have him analyzed and picked apart...how it hurts me to know that I am subjecting him to any kind of judgement like that.

I could tell you how nervous I was about taking him there...

Or I could tell you how awesome he did.

Let's just say he "Rocked IT!"

But what I want to share with you is the unbelievable pride that almost overwhelmed me when I saw this...




My boy is amazing. He is trying to run there. RUN.

RUN!!!!!

You may not understand why that little thing could almost bring me to my knees. Kids do it every single day.

The thing is...

...now I know for SURE that my kid will too.

Plans have been started. Some referrals are in the works. It won't be long now.

I know that in my heart.

My kid is going to do it to.

I am beyond excited!
