July 27
We had a good weekend…Saturday, we went looking for a dress outfit for Benjamin to wear for his finalization. Luckily, we found one. We were looking for a blazer, but all the ones we found were wayyy tooo expensive. We ended up buying a very cute dress outfit that has shorts, a dress shirt and a belt. He’ll look adorable in it. I’m going to get his formal picture taken in it. I want to wait until he’s finished cutting these teeth though because he drools alot right now.
Allyson has been on the steroid since Friday. Have I mentioned how much I don’t like when she’s on that?;-)…I told Brad’s mom tonight that she’s either “happy” (NOT) or hungry. I can’t blame her for her mood swings because I know it is the meds working on her, but that doesn’t make them any more fun.
We went out to lunch today. Both kids were soooo good! When we were all finished, Benjamin said, “All done! Get down.” We are amazed by his speech every day. — I know we’re supposed to be working on animals and animal sounds right now, but he doesn’t seem too interested in learning what we want him to learn right now. He’ll repeat just about anything you ask him to say though. - Can I just say he looks absolutely adorable “reading” his books;-). - We went to Sam’s today. Three different times, people stopped me to tell me how cute Benjamin is. Once, it was a foreign couple who didn’t speak much English. They looked at me with huge smiles and said, “Cute.”
Benjamin and Allyson sing in the car together now. Each has his/her own favorite song, but they both sing now matter what. It is cute…Allyson can sing most, if not all of the words to the songs. Benjamin will sing one or two words really loudly. - Speaking of one or two words…Benjamin can say the word “sheep”, but when he says it, it sounds like “sheet” (which actually comes out sounding a little more like sh–… - can’t wait until he says that in public).
A busy week this week…tomorrow we have a few errands to run. Tuesday is the port replacement…Thursday, I am off to a workshop for school (which starts in two weeks…yes, two weeks…so much for summer “vacation”…)…Friday, more chemo.
