Did you understand that?

So this morning I walk into Cotton's room with Landon in tow. For some reason Cotton says "uh oh....Daddy trouble," he obviously thinks this is hilarious, as he goes down the list of family members (including extended) all of which are in trouble:) Except him of course. Landon looks at me and excitedly says "Hey mom, Cotton's speaking english! (okay I have to stop and have a good chuckle). Landon is right, Cotton's language is almost discernable. I think it is because he is practicing soo much ( not that I mind) but let's just say he doesn't stop.... now only if we could make what he is saying relevant. But, we are getting there, every once in a while, he says something that completely makes sense... so wow. Cotton is doing well in school right now too. I was so worried about his writing skills, and let me just say, they have come a long way.... again with that word discernable.

Landon is also improving his writing skills right along side his brother, albeit he is a much more eager student. I don't think I will ever have to worry about school with that one, but let me just say, that teaching him to ride a bike...(WITH training wheels) has been a lot harder than I expected. He can pedal fine, but I think the height scares him a bit. I foresee a big wheel in his future. (do they still make those?)

Rev on the other hand is the exact opposite, that kid can already dribble a soccer ball. If he doesn't have ball in his hand, he has a truck. You have to be ready at any given moment to catch a flying ball (or truck), he has quite an arm. The child is just obsessed with climbing right now, and keeping off the kitchen table is my new full time job. Baby gates are no obstacle for this little guy. I just hope, he doesn't realize that he can climb out of his crib. I like my kids in a crib for as long as possible. He is just a pint size bulldozer.

As for me, can you believe I am done with Christmas shopping (at least for the kids). I went to an autism conference with a friend last weekend, and we power shopped like crazy. It was the most fun I have had in while. There is nothing like friends that understand your passion for your kids, AND your passion for shopping:)
