Whoa, where has time gone??!

Has it really been almost a month since my last post? Well, it has been a busy time for me..

Connor's therapy is going so well. I'd say that he is now speaking about 80% of the time, compared to the 10-20% he was doing back in September. He has new words/phrases all the time. A new cute one, anytime there's something going on that he wants to be a part of- he raises his hand and waves it (like a child in school) and says "I do, I do!". It's adorable. His SLP said that he'll need on-going articulation therapy for awhile. John said he had this as a kid, and hated it! So now, I'm nervous.

Last week I had to 'sit in' for Jake's classs, do the Homeroom mom thing, because the teachers were having a break during a Holiday Luncheon. Yeah, that was scary. I truly think that I may have glimpsed hell. And it is inhabited by the spawn of Satan himself. I have never seen so many unruly 5/6 year olds before! There were about 5 well behaved kids out of the whole lot- and, thank God, Jake was one of them. One child kept us on our toes the entire 2 hrs. He was biting, fighting, and well- anything else he wanted to do. Oh, and I had Connor with me- whom I managed to lose in the school at one point, for about 5mins. It was scary, but I knew he was in the school...somewhere. The worst part, I had asked some other moms, who were just hanging out in the hall chatting, if they had seen him. They just replied "no, sorry.". No "OMG, let us help you find him!". Seriously, thanks for the concern. He had found his way to another kindergarten class, and was just fine.

Looks like it's time to sign off, the boys are in a fort under the coffee table, and I hear crying...(sigh).
