It is spring break week! Our schedule has been all over the place and every day feels like it's Saturday. We have been trying to make the most of this time together. Dan got home from DC on Friday morning, so we had from then until this morning as a family. Today Dan started a new, exciting job, so the boys and I are back to hanging out!
Elijah and Sammy play their Perplexus games every chance they get! They are GOOD at these!
Yesterday we took a family trip to the Children's Museum. We had tons of fun! Sammy enjoyed being a mail carrier (the cutest one I've ever seen).
Both boys spent a ton of time in the water area. Can I admit that Dan and I enjoyed ourselves here, too?
Look! He also transforms into the cutest turtle I've ever seen.
I found a couple Chick-Fil-A gift cards in my wallet, so guess where we stopped on our way home?
Lucky boys!
We have been LOVING the weather. After another long winter, it feels so incredibly good to be able to go outside again without body parts freezing off.
Things with Elijah are still overall better. We have been experimenting with different essential oils and I think I made a connection last week. I had been putting two different oils on his feet at night before bed...one is a blend of oils and the other is Frankincense. We ran out of Frankincense, so I substituted it with something else. A few days later I noticed that E was starting to unravel again. Sleep started getting worse again and he wasn't able to control himself like he had been in the previous weeks. I quickly ordered more of the Frankincense and we are back on track. Could it really be that easy?
I would still like to find someone to do cognitive behavioral therapy with him so he can develop coping skills for his anxiety. I have a list of recommended names, now I just need to schedule something. We have a cardiology check-up on Monday and we never know what to expect going into those. Please pray for a good report!
A few funnies before I make dinner for the boys..
Today we took a walk to the park and it was WINDY. When we were walking into the wind, Sammy said, "The wind does NOT want us to go this way!"
The boys gave Dan and I some new silly names the other night. Our favorites: El Loro and Mrs. Minnesota. Today they were scrambling up president names and I became Gerald Jefferson. :)
I hope spring has come wherever you live and that you all are having a great week! Thanks so much for checking on us!
