our yesterday


We had a big day. Ivan had his last session of speech therapy. It was so sweet. Last week, Miss Robyn said that she was sad that he was doing so well because that meant she wouldn't see him anymore. After, he said to me that he was sad because "I love Miss Robyn SO much". So he picked out a wooden box with a heart handle and painted it for miss Robyn with her name on it. This week, he was not wanting to say the words. He hesitated each time, wondering if he should say it right, because he hated it being his last time. She showed him the same evaluation tool she used the first day, when he said "tup" for cup and this time he said "cup". We are glad to have our schedule more open again, but we did really love Miss Robyn. She gave us so much, not just with the help he got to speak right, but with the positive "classroom like" experience.

We went to Ivan's favorite lunch McDonald's and he had soccer practice that night. Also, Nanna spent her last day here. She took all three kids out to pizza and ice cream so that Brian and I could go out for a grown up meal. Did you know they have tables at restaurants for just two people? They are so cute! ha, ha. We went to our favorite place, about the only place we eat out and the manager came up to us and said he was a bit surprised to see us without our entourage (ie. 3 noisy, cup spilling, mess making kids- but he said it a lot nicer).



Nanna did great with the kids which is an amazing feat. She was also shocked that Emora could pack away so much food and gave our girl her first taste of ice cream. I'm pretty sure that is not on the recommended food chart for her age, and Nanna informed me that she ate the whole cup worth of it, but she didn't puke the night away and slept like a pro, so maybe she is ready for dairy foods! ha, ha. Give it to Nanna to figure it out. Yeah Nanna! I am looking forward to weaning her. Her new teeth are not the most comfortable fit, but we'll make it a few more months of nursing I'm sure.

Congratulations Ivan on completing your class. I knew that you could do it.

Thank you for the fun time in Abilene, and sharing your bed with me along with the bear and dog sleeping buddies. Love that "snuggy" time.
