Daddy

This is the DADDY in our home...He is a pretty dedicated daddy, and the kids love him! Can you see the enthusiasm in those kids eyes during storytime?
We took some pictures of the kids this week in place of the fact that we haven't done any professional shoots in a while. We had a lot of fun trying to get them to just play and not be too conscious of the camera.

Cdc has hit a stage where when he has a tantrum he loses body control. This one happened last Sunday, it stuck out about 1/2 inch from his head. Poor kid, maybe this is why he's having such attachment issues.
I love trying to get a glimpse into their worlds...all I really know from this is that Cpc loves yellow - I already knew that. It is by far his favorite color.Cdc fell asleep in the wave pool. He LOVES water.Cpc got a special Mommy/Daddy date this week to the bowling alley after therapy. He totally loved some alone time.Cpc's 3rd birthday is tomorrow, and for his birthday he got a special ride on the Heber Creeper. We surprised him and when he saw the train he was pretty excited.
Cdc loved the free ride too!Momsey and Grandpa Don joined us, it made for a fun ride.
Cpc's favorite part was looking out the window.So was Cdc's!
Cpc's least favorite part was when the outlaw's boarded the train to steal the money box. He was terrified.
Don't those three boys look good together?

So anyway, about the rest of our week. Like I said, Cdc is having some attachment issues - nothing new, I'm just reaching my wit's end on it. If I'm in the room he HAS to have me, unless nobody is home besides me and Cpc. If I'm not in the room, he really doesn't mind the fact that I'm not there. Agh. Cpc, well I think we're on his last week of occupational therapy for right now. He's doing so well. He's finally back to using the potty, and he's well regulated most days. If he's not, we know that it's because we haven't done enough (or anything for that matter) to help regulate him. Seriously, weekdays are easy, but weekends we just get lazy about it. Work is going well for Pmc, and he'll be doing a little extra work for his dad and his old job for this next month - so he's staying busy. I'm feeling pretty good about me as an individual, because I've implemented daily quiet time - and I'm actually doing some things that I want to do (like read books, organize Learning Circles, and work on my pre-joy-school program). It's beautiful. We just feel like such a happy family.

My little sister Ace is back from school in Washington, and she's living with us. Along with my little brother Hdhe hanging out here and there, we have a full house. It's fun to have my younger siblings around so much, and hopefully we can get along all summer.

I'm going to Bear Lake this week for a few days - two nights in a row without my husband. Have I ever done that? Oh yeah, I did last summer - I guess I can handle it. I will get to hang out with one of my best friends, as well as my dad.

I know I had lots to share throughout the week, but my brain is apparently a little fried tonight. So, I'll just leave it at this and be glad I updated!
