Two good days. EI came today. Spencer did well. The SLP that came with her gave me a bunch of info to help him along. Our EI person is leaving. Someone new is supposed to get in contact with me at some point in the future. Like, maybe, within a month. I'm glad we are getting private therapy too. I might just let it go if they don't contact me. I don't think they've been that helpful so far anyway really.

Mike was in a good mood today. So was Spencer. So was Rachel. So was I.

I went to Tom and Lucy's yesterday and Mike got the afternoon off. They are crazy as usual. They're like little kids, when the don't listen and they just keep responding as if they heard you, but they didn't. And I know they didn't. It's exhausting. Lucy seriously wants me to do her Christmas shopping for Spencer and Rachel for her. No, she's not going to just keep throwing money at everyone and everything, damn it! She's going to buy them presents. How many people get tired of their IL's constantly throwing money at them? Having money is not always all it's cracked up to be.

Spencer smashed his finger in their screen door. Poor kid. He didn't go near it again while we were there.

He's passing cars back and forth more and learning to share food and drink. Hooray.

I like days like this. Short blog entries cause life is just kosher. Nothing to be upset about.

Mike and I decided that Spencer's first "chore" will be to get the dogs their MilkBone's at dinner time. Mike or I will send them to their beds, of course, and then help Spencer take the bones over to them everynight. I think that's an appropriate first household "chore". Well I guess cleaning up the playroom each night is really his first chore, but giving the dogs their bones sounds cuter :oP.

Oh, I almost forgot! Spencer gave Rachel kisses twice today. The first time I told him to, but the second time I had her on my left knee and him on my right and he just turned to her and puckered up. Yet another thing that I thought he would just "get" that I now realize I have to teach him (or at least encourage him) to do.
