Yeah, it just doesn't have the same ring as the Peter, Paul and Mary tune.
We leave on Friday for our cruise and I couldn't be more ready. Rob and I have been crazy with work. The boys have settled into school and are therefore not as tired at the day's end and are climbing the walls (cabinets, couch, you name it). We are all in need of a break from reality!
I'm really looking forward to spending some QT with my family. I know we are together every day (thank God), but we are so busy and so run down and so inundated with crap (good and bad), that a chance for us to get away and not watch clocks or be there or run here seems wonderful. Though I'm praying for nice weather, it truly doesn't much matter. It is about the boys and seeing them have fun and if it is anything close to as wonderful as our week at the beach back in June, we will be golden.
The boys are doing well. Eric has been super emotional lately. Not sure if it is residual from his sensory integration therapy or his current therapeutic listening or something more. It's hard when he can't tell us. He just gets sad, cries and then is fine. It isn't interferring too much with life, so I'm trying not to focus on it.
His teacher sent a note home last week and wants to meet about his IEP. She wants to change some things. It still hasn't been made clear to me whether it is due to him meeting his goals or that we set his goals to high to begin with. At any rate, he likes going to school. He gets regular good reports and genuinely seems happy. I know that is all that matters.
Evan, as always, is Evan. He has gotten to spend some one-on-one time with Rob recently (which I know they both LOVE). He's so into golf it's insane. Rob and he go to putt putt every other week while Eric and I go to McDonald's and have milkshakes and then go swimming. Eric is ALWAYS wanting Daddy so Evan is inevitably stuck with me, so to change things up is nice for all of us. I get some quality time with Eric and Evan gets some much needed (and deserved) "Daddy time."
Eric is learning his sight words from school pretty quickly...and Evan is right there with him. Though I worry Evan will be bored in Kindergarten next year, I know it is a good thing that he is so very interested in learning new things. I hope that continues for the next 15-20 years!
Not much else to report. Looking forward to vacation and trying not to focus too much on the insanity that we will inevitably come home to!
