What a week! It was surprisingly easy to get back into a routine with these boys with Daddy around. I'm trying not to keep us too busy so that we have time to just hang out at home and play. But between the sports, playgroups and Ethan's therapies, there doesn't seem to be that much free time!!
Jack has become fascinated with helping me in the kitchen.
I can't believe Ethan is almost a year old! How time flies. He's been doing great with his therapies and is progressing wonderfully. I often think how much we take for granted with a typical child and how much work it is with Ethan, but it is so worth it to see how well he does and how HAPPY he is.
Can we go back to England today???
Ethan has become quite the camera hog. As soon as he sees it on and pointed at him, a big smile spreads across his face. It's hilarious! These boys LOVE playing together and every morning Jack tells me that he'll watch Ethan while I finish getting ready. And I can get LOTS done while they occupy each other. Maybe that's why it's been so easy having Jason gone during the week.
Physical therapy has been going great and Ethan is trying to copy everything we do and say these days. As for speech therapy, his therapist says she hasn't seen anyone take to table food quite as easily as Ethan has, which is great. She's now going to be coming once a week for 45 minutes (instead of every other week for 30 minutes) and spending 15 minutes on eating issues and 30 minutes on speaking. I'm excited to see what kind of progress he makes.
Jason was able to come home for the weekend and even though he was busy with studying, research and writing a paper, he took some time to do a road march and let Jack come along with him. Jack made it all the way around the block and told me his legs needed a break when he got home.
We spent some time up at a Civil War battlefield, Picketts Mill, over the weekend (forgot the camera) so Jason could do some research for a paper and Jack had the best time. It was about a mile hike (there and back) to a cabin where the park ranger or historian was able to answer some questions and Jack could run around.
The weekend has come to a quick end but we're looking forward to having Daddy home for a four day weekend next week. Time to pick up all the toys and head to bed!!!
