I had such a good morning with my boys today! We had no plans which is unusual for us. We have literally had something to do almost every weekday morning since Luke was born (playdates, speech, MMO, etc.)I love those things, but I really believe that God provided this morning for me. Sometimes, I spend so much time doing other things, perhaps things that are necessary for the boys, but today was a day for me to just enjoy QUALITY TIME with both of them separately. J and I spent time outside playing in his little pool and with his sprinkler ball. I took a minute to remember how much progress we have made with him since last summer. Many parents see it earlier, but we have seen it most at age three. After J and I had some time together, I gathered a snack and put in Toy Story for him to watch while I gave L a bath. He loves his bath and will just stare at me as I talk to him. So special.
Our apraxia journey is far from over, and the deep desire for J to overcome it with few other additional problems remains. I constantly have to give my worries, fears, etc. about the future to God. So, I believe God provided me with an uplifting conversation with my husband last night, and then a great day with the boys today.
It has been established that sweet, baby L is a little more fickle than his brother, but he totally cracks me up with the things he will do. He LOVES to eat, and no matter how full I get him, he will sometimes suck on everything-his hand, my shoulder, my arm, whatever is nearby...came out of the womb this way. Well, when he starts that, I will hold him out and tease him him about being an eating machine. He gives me the funniest look, like "What's the problem, Mom? Milk can come out of anywhere if I try hard enough!"
