Things have been pretty good here. Still trying to convince Spencer to talk more clearly and answer questions, but that's a never ending battle. Rachel thinks that everything is a puppy, though she has been calling things daddy the last few days too. Neither of my kids ever called me the traditional mama. Spencer waited forever and then went straight to mommy and Rachel picked up mommy from him. It's weird the things you just assume will happen as a parent, that don't. I don't care so much, it's just odd.
Things are busy, but continuing to be good busy. I'm trying to keep at least one day a week at home so that we have down time. We went to the mall this morning for a kid's thing wiht my mom, tomorrow is playgroup, Wed is the exec board meeting (which is esssentially another playgroup as far as the kids are concerned), Thursday is an indoor water park for Spencer and I, a few hours with Grammie for the Monster. Friday my mom will be here at noon, and Mike and I leave in the afternoon for our weekend away. I'm looking forward to that. Ironically, not as much as I was when I scheduled it. I really needed a break then, but I'm doing better now. I think I'm better able to enjoy myself being away more than I've been in the past though. Not so fearful that Spencer won't be the same kid when I return, which is what I think the stuff boiled down to in the past.
On that note, he's doing really well socially. Language is still hit or miss depending on the day, but socially he's blossoming. He tried to hug another little girl today and kinda pushed her into a wall in the process. I told him to say he was sorry and he did.
Oh well, I'm tired and rambling. I'm sure I'll be back with a monstrously long post about how much things suck before long. But right now I'm happy and I'm feeling good.
Here is the layout I did today. I'm still not totally in love with the text, but everything can't be perfect everytime, right?
