Nov. 19th 2008



Again it has been so long since last i wrote!! All is great with my busy little family... Willem has made a great transition into preschool. He is getting all of his therapies there as well as socializing and just being there with out me!!! Which is good because i do baby him a bit too much . I find myself picking him up too much... he can walk just fine now it just takes time. I get a bit impatient and next thing you know i have him on my right side and carrying the baby in the other!! My new mantra is SLOW DOWN!!!!! ~ We'll all be happier!! I have been doing speech therapy with willem here at home daily and he fights me some as he would rather not be doing it but i try to make it as fun as possible even bribe him with forbidden treats (m&m's) I think i am seeing some improvement both in his speech clarity and a tiny bit of movement in his face!!!!!!
The boys have transitioned into being Big brothers beautifully i am so proud of both of them. They are always making sure she is happy coming to give her kisses! Willem loves that she smiles at him. About a month ago Will caught me off guard and asked me "mom how do you smile" I am guessing it is because of her he asked i don't know that i answered it very well and he has not asked again!!!!!! I am not sure how i will answer that when he asks again, i am a bit scared of that moment. As i am writing that now i realize i need to prepare myself and not hide! I'd love guidance on that i suppose Mike and i need to talk about that!
Ben is enjoying pre-k 4!! He is so excited to be learning his lower case letters. At home we have started working on his sight words and he loves that! Got to love a kid so hungry to be learning!
Helena is a sweet little angel of a girl!!! she was not feeling well last week which was hard not sleeping very well at night but she is getting back to her self... thank goodness!! I am keeping this short as i am exhusted!! good night!
