More School

Logical is going to start going to private pre-school 2 days a week along with the special-needs pre-school he's going to now. That means that Trouble gets to do gymnastics all by himself. I think that this will work out better, Logical was having trouble dealing with all the kids at gymnastics. I'm trying to get him into 5 days a week pre-school and then drop swimming. We'll see what happens.

Here are some pictures of our Easter (also known as the Day of Chocolate). They had a good time gorging and hunting. Also, we went to the gym this morning and the boys had fun and used up lots of energy! Enjoy!

We're Full Up

Too much. Logical had a breakdown this morning. Too much to do yesterday and Grammy went home this past Saturday. Trouble has just been a hiney. Is there such a thing as too much Grammy-Love? Today should be quieter. The only stuff on our to-do list is gymnastics this morning and pre-school this afternoon. The gymnastics is more mom intensive than I thought so I enrolled both of them. Today is the first day that they are both going. So I'll see if I can keep up.

Thanks to the folks @ Good Sam

Logical gets to get back into occupational therapy! Even better than that? He gets to work with the same occupational therapist. When Puget Sound Therapy Services shut down we were at a loss at what to do. We were cut adrift with 500 other families. Luckily Good Samaritan's Children's Therapy Unit hired Logical's OT and now we get to keep working with her! Yeah! These people are the best and really worked with me to try and get Logical the services he needed. Check them out, their building is too cool. http://www.goodsamhealth.org/services_CTU_overview.html
Logical went to his first karate class last night. It was too cute watching all these little kids. Trouble went to his first gymnastics class today. It's turned out to be a mommy-and-me kind of thing. We both had fun!
Grammy is here for the week and we are all happy to see her.

Busy Day

Logical is doing sooo well with his swimming lessons. His teacher has the patience of a saint and finally got him to put his eyes in the water. He swims all funny because he does everything in his power to keep his face and ears out of the water. Rather than force him to do it "her" way his teacher is working with his goofyness.
Then we had our WIC recertification. Logical is 42lbs and just under 42inches tall. Trouble is 35lbs and 36inches tall.
Then we met Daddy for lunch.
Then we went to Logical's neuropsychologist appointment.
Then we went home and the boys played in the yard till suppertime. I'm sure there will be some heavy sleepers in our house tonight.

More Gymnastics for Trouble

Trouble is now going to gymnastics two days a week. They had an opening, so I thought we could even out the running around a little bit. All of this starts the first week of April. AND... Grammy is going to be here, so, a good time will be had by all.

More Things to Do!

OK, here's what a typical week is going to look like for us: Logical goes to school 2 days a week, swimming lessons 2 days a week, karate 2 days a week, and sees his neuropsychologist once a week. Poor ol' Trouble only has gymnastics once a week. There isn't a whole lot of structured stuff for 2-year-olds. I bet the price of gas for the SUV after we start cavorting around is going to bite us on the butt.

Insert bad word here

Well, poop. Logical has made too much progress going to pre-school two days a week, so he's not eligible for four days a week. I'm still mad about it. I mean, I understand the school's point-of-view, but sheesh. If he's done this well, imagine what four days could do. And to top it off, he's got and ear infection. If it doesn't rain...

Well, I go to Logical's IEP meeting this afternoon to push for 4-day-a-week preschool. Speech Eval? Check! OT Eval? Check! Neuropsychologist recommendation? Check! Letter from previous teacher? Check! No-nonsense attitude? Check!
