1. Last week I wrote about how Jonah finished up with his physical therapist, and today was his final day in speech therapy! We also have loved working with Miss Debbie (and I'm thrilled that we go to the same gym so we'll keep seeing her regularly!). When we started speech at almost 17 months, Jonah really wasn't saying anything, and now he's chatting up a storm. His favorite new phrase is, "I do it!" It's been so great to watch his independence and self-assurance grow with his vocabulary. Thank you so much, Debbie!
2. Today was a busy day - I dropped Riley at school, and then Jonah and I came home for his final speech session. Then we buzzed over to church for our monthly staff meeting, and then went back to school to get Riley. Thankfully Riley's school offers a "lunch bunch" option where I can send a lunch in with him and he can stay for an extra 30 minutes after school is over. He goes every month on the day of the staff meeting and he loves it (our special name for it is "lunchy lunch").
3. Riley also had swim class today - he's been doing so well and I'm thankful he loves it. Although I find it funny each week when I ask him what he did in class he tells me what toy he played with during the last 5 minutes.
4. We've rented a house in Stone Harbor for a week in June and Abe's aunt & uncle will be joining us! I'm excited to show them the real Jersey Shore and I'm looking forward to warm weather.
5. Riley and Jonah's school is starting to register kids for the next school year already. It's hard to believe that this will be Riley's last year before Kindergarten!
6. The thing that I'm most excited about right now is my trip to Seattle next week! It's a quick one (just 3 days), but I'm looking forward to some good sister time.
7. Riley had everyone in church on Sunday wowed by his knowledge of John the Baptist (or John the Bap-a-tist, as he likes to call him). He had a lesson on baptism and John the Baptist in school last week, so when he was asked questions about the topic during Sunday School and the children's sermon, he just popped out the right answers!
8. I've been taking down our Christmas tree & decorations the last few days, and our living room looks so bare now! I thought it was time to take everything down but now I'm not so sure!
9 & 10. I'm trying to be in more pictures with the boys this year, so here are 2 from today! Riley decided that he needed full construction gear to help me take down the decorations, and lately Jonah has been folding his hands and looking around waiting for someone to say a quick prayer so he can say "Amen!"
