Everyone here is doing well. Cooper is on spring break this week which is all fun and exciting, but exhausting and stressful for me. I think the change in his routine totally caused him to regress in using the potty, which is a PITA. He wets his pants like 5 or more times a day since Monday. I'm hoping this phase corrects itself as soon as school starts back up on Monday. I don't have enough energy for all this laundry!
His thing right now is playing Carnival Games on the Wii and Wii fit. He loves to do Yoga. :) In fact, we were waiting in the lobby of Easter Seals for his therapist to come out to get him and he is for real standing in the middle of the busy lobby doing the Tree pose.
Silly boy! I LOLed and thought to myself, "OMG, he's doing the tree pose in the middle of this busy lobby."
My mom fell back in January and broke her hip. She had hip replacement surgery on one side of her hip and she is doing really well. In fact, she gets around most of the time taking small steps without any crutch or cane. She is still limited by what she can do. She does good on stairs, but has to take it slow and can't carry much weight since it distributes her weight differently. She has to use a can do walk in the yard and things that require more stability, since the cane provides that. I'm really proud of her and how far she has come. She is healing much quicker than I ever expected, which means she is stronger than I ever knew. :) So here I am going to segway between my mom's cane and Wii Carnival Games. Heh. So my mom's cane looks like this.,,
...and here is the cover to Carnival Games...
As you can see, the Carnie is holding a cane! Cooper just loves the fact his Grandma has a cane. LOL! Every time Cooper greets his Grandma, he takes her cane and proceeds to say, "Hurry Hurry Hurry, step right up for the thrills and excitement of Carnival Games!!!" He even does the motion of moving the cane up and down like he's talking to the crowd. hehe.... love it.
Cooper is loving school and is thriving there. I can't wait until he can go full time. It won't be until he starts Kindergarten though, which will be school year 2o10-2011. So... August 2010 he'll be 5 and hopefully test into kindergarten just fine. Right now our schedule looks like this:
Monday- School 8-12 and Speech Therapy 1-2
Tuesday- School 8-12, ABA 1-2 and Occupational Therapy 4-5
Wednesday- School 8-12 and then kids go to Gma's since I work about 6 hours this day
Thursday- School 8-12, ABA 1-2, Feeding Therapy 3-4, Chiropractor 4:30
Friday- School 8-12 and then Craig is off in the afternoon so I can work about 4 hours
Woot!
Maddy is doing great. She will be 2 (!!!) in less than a month. I just can't believe my baby girl is going to be 2. It's hard to describe the difference between Maddy and Cooper. It's just different. Of coarse I love them both the same. It's hard to believe the differences developmentally at her age of almost 2. Cooper had 4 words at age 2. That in itself is so hard to believe. Maddy and Cooper are about the same level as far as speech is concerned. Maddy is a bit advanced in that aspect because she is in a hyper verbal environment. I still have to do a double take when she says something new because it's like, "Really, Did she just say that or am I hearing things?" I'm sure in no time she will be passing Cooper up, but I think that in itself will push Cooper and help him advance.
I have more to post, but I need to get going. I've been working on this on and off for the better part of the morning and I need to get some things done. Thanks for reading!
