Typical busy day

On Wednesdays I get to watch two extra kids while their mommy gets to work, so Wednesdays are always an exciting day. It is definitely Timmy's favorite day of the week because he gets to play with Audrey and Sam(And he has actually learned how to say their names now!). It is so much fun to see them all play together. In the class I am taking for Timmy's speech we have learned about all the different stages of communication and different strategies to encourage communication and so on... Well its neat because all 4 kids are in a different stage. Allanna is a discoverer, Sam is a Communicator, Timmy is a first words user, and Audrey is a very advanced combiner. So its really neat to see them all developing so fast and getting into the next stages and trying to communicate with each other! Now that Timmy has more words he is starting to boss the other kids around so all day today he would say "Audrey run" or "Sam sit." Even though its not cute to be bossy its so great to see him become a sociable communicator. And Audrey said such a cute thing today, she saw a picture of an ant and she said that ants hurt. So I asked her (to see if she would remember are battle of the ants at millerton) if she got bit by ant when we went camping... and she said no because God protected me. How amazing is that coming from a 3 year old? I wish we could all think so simply. It was a good reminder that God is protecting us all the time even from the little things!

We also had Timmys videotaping for speech yesterday, which is almost like a test to see if I am using what I am learning while I play with him. The session went so good! The teacher was really excited to see how much he has progressed in the last month! She also gave us some great tips to help him put two words together. So it seems like this class and those fish oils are working great!

I have also tried to work out the last 2 days and now I am crazy sore! But my sisters wedding is in like 24 days so I have to keep it up!

Our life right now

Allanna is 9 months old already! Time flies so fast when you have two little ones. She had her doctors appointment yesterday, she weighs 19lbs, 10oz and is 28 inches long. So less than ten pounds to gain and she will catch up with Timmy! She is now crawling all over the house and pulling herself up on all the furniture. She discovered today that there is water in the toilet to play with so that will be fun trying to keep her away from that now :o)
Timmy is a crazy little toddler who is turning 3 in a couple weeks! His speech is improving like crazy so he is now talking constantly. Its a bit of a guessing game to see what he is talking about but its fun! He is obsessed with pumpkins and witches right now because of Halloween.
Curtis and I are in love with pumpkin spice lattes right now so we tried to make them at home... they turned out pretty and tasty but not nearly as good as Starbucks. But I will perfect it somehow! 

Having two kids definitely keeps us crazy busy but life is good!
