Weekend Recap

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

What an interesting weekend. Friday night I had my role playing, which was fun. And Daniel slept with no pull up for the first time, and no accident! Saturday was extremely busy with James' soccer game, helping Dad move some things, Abigail's birthday party. And on Sunday I gorged myself on Pro football while Kim worked. A good weekend with loads of contrast between busy and slow.

Yes Daniel is growing up! Friday was his last official speech therapy appointment. He is now pretty much up to speed, we still have to be cognizant of where he is and keep working on it, but I think he will continue to progress with being in school. And yes Friday night and last night he slept in underwear and pajamas rather than a pull up and had no accidents! So hooray for that, maybe that last pack of pull ups will be the last.

James' soccer game went well, his team won, James probably got more playing time than any of the other kids. I think that while he may not be the most athletically gifted kid he is the most experienced and aware kid on the team, so he doesn't generally have moments where his mind just wanders. So I think the coach appreciates that and wants him out there.

The birthday party was fun, a little chaotic but Daniel and James had a great time which was the most important thing. Overall Saturday ended up being an extremely busy day, so by the time we got home on Saturday night I was pretty much wiped out, I have no idea how Kim handles days like that when she has all the kids and takes them to the zoo or something similar.

So Sunday I did nothing, Kim had to work so I was able to indulge myself by just sitting in front of the TV and watching the NFL, including the Broncos. All I have to say about the Broncos game was that clearly the Football gods were pleased with Mike Shanahan, and his decision to go for 2 just reinforced that.

So overall a good weekend. Watched good amount of football, had some fun. And the kids had some good play time outside of the house and at home.
