Is it spring yet?




We've only had a few nice days this spring and the rain is getting old. On our first sunny day in a long time Bryson couldn't wait to get the swimming pool out, unfortunately it was only about 50 deg out, he was very disappointed. We went to the tulip festival over the weekend, the boys had fun on the tractor "train"and Bryson loved the bouncy house.We had a nice visit with Steve, Jan and Anna in March. Unfortunately, Kyle was sick for most of the visit. We are expecting Mara and John in May for Kyle's second birthday.

Bryson started occupational therapy the end of Feb. He has a Sensory Processing Disorder. He needs work on his fine and gross motor skills as well as self regulation strategies. He has really improved with his strength and fine motor skills recently and seems to enjoy doing the fine motor tasks now. He doesn't get as frustrated and is more willing to try difficult things. He also started gymnastics classes and has done very well in the last two sessions. We bought him a trampoline for home after he bumped his face on the coffee table jumping off the sofa. He has moved up to the next class at school and is adjusting well. He is mostly potty trained, but still has the occasional accident.

Kyle is almost 2 years old! He still looks like a baby to me and he is so small! He's a pretty tough little guy though, last week we got a report from daycare that he kept wrestling a boy to the ground and made him cry! His favorite thing is to run around the house naked and yell, "naked baby!" (Bryson loves to join in too). He is talking more, but I don't always know what he's saying, it usually takes me awhile to figure it out. He loves to play outside in the water and mud. It's nearly impossible to keep him clean. He can pull the wagon all the way down to the church and back now.

I put up some new videos too!
