INSIDE OUT

Today is a blogging day! I've been in "tomato-stake" mode with the kiddos the past couple of days. All seems great again. N is still a bit whiny, but, she's coming out of it much faster! They are laughing, playing, imagining, being creative (what a pair of kid's scissors and some old magazines can't do), and just really loving life.

One part of me wants to be in the kitchen, creating. But, that part can wait until I have more groceries in the house. Today, I feel I want to sit here, be lazy and absorb myself into the screen. It makes up for the days and sometimes weeks I don't say a thing on here. :)

S is doing SO MUCH better in his speech. Any concerns I once had are now gone. With a more complex speech, comes more complex reasoning. At least from my perspective. It seems he's had it in him much longer than he's expressed. We will still do more speech therapy, but, my heart is free to concentrate on his speech, rather than wondering if there is any more to look into. YAY!!!

J is as clever as always. Today, we were learning about different types of lines (curvy, straight, zigzag, etc). When we got to the lines that were criss-crossed, Joah excitedly proclaims, "Hey, that's for voting"!!!! LOL He and the others were with us when we voted and he helped place the "x" accordingly. :)

N is as surprising as ever. Her ability to talk to me sentence after sentence is just so crazy cool! I feel like we are kindred spirits and love how alike we are already. Look out world! Look out Dad!

I've been contemplating music a lot more lately. As a procrastinator, it makes sense why I did nothing with my music. Is it ever too late? I do feel a bit musically starved. I've even contemplated busking as some sort of musical outlet! Soon, I think. Soon, I feel I will have an outlet. I'll have to wait for a bit to let you know what I'm up to. But, it's exciting for me. Well, that's it for today. It's time to drink some Fennel tea and look at the changing leaves. It's time to think about what I'm gonna make for dinner with next to nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something. I did make hummus today. I have some left over chick peas, some spinach, apples, ginger... Hmmmm...
