365: Pudding
Jason bought pudding at the store yesterday. It is not something we eat often and Zachary has never had it before. He wasn’t sure he wanted it at first but after that first bite he was all in!
365: Broken Arm News
Jonah had a follow up today with his ortho. The original plan was to remove this plaster cast and put on a lighter fiberglass short arm cast at this point. Mostly so he would be able to bend his elbow. We arrived and they immediately jumped in to cast removal. Something in me knew we needed an x-ray first. Not their standard procedure but I insisted. I have learned over the years and 5 kids to follow my instincts. I lost that ability for a good long time after the birth trauma. I’d go so far as to say I was completely disconnected with […]
365: I snapped this and cried
Jude is almost 12 and we are in this window of time where things are changing. He’s not a little boy who plays as much as he used to. He still does, he joins in with the little boys sometimes, he plays imaginary games, like pretending with Z to kayak off a waterfall (see my Insta stories for that photo). But it is not all the time like it once was. It used to be Jude and Jonah playing all the time! He asked for books for his birthday. Not a single “toy”. No legos or anything. The shift is happening and it makes me […]
365: Memory
Zachary got a Marvel Memory Game for Christmas and he is obsessed with it. It helps that Jude asks him to play it (of his own free will – ha!) several times a day. Z is so good at it! I think Jude has only beat him one time in the last month! And yet there was still a little drama when he flipped over the wrong card this morning haha!
365: Warm Knees
The weather was completely gorgeous today. At 5 pm we decided to have a fire pit dinner. Jude and I ran to the store for essential fire pit food, Jason’s brother picked up firewood on his way over. It was gorgeous outside but once the sun set it was pretty chilly, perfect night for a fire. I love the feeling of warm knees when the rest of your body is cold, roasting marshmallows and stargazing. It was a good end to a very chaotic and draining week.
365: Dot to Dot with Daddy
My mom sent Jonah a care package after he broke his arm again. It included a big dot to dot book and both of the little boys are obsessed with them. Z needs help since he is still learning his numbers.
