My thoughts...interesting or not

Case had preschool graduation yesterday.  It was super cute.  We have decided not to start KG next year but give him an extra year to learn and feel confident in himself.  So, we'll do this again next year, but it was still fun.

All I wanted for Mother's Day was a new watch.  Something simple, yet nice.  I found a few online and sent the links to Jeff so he knew what to look for.  He and Case went shopping one night when I took Siahna to music.  They came home and hid the present.  A couple nights later, I was putting Case to bed and walked over to turn on his lava lamp and there was the present.  I tell you what, they are really bad at hiding things.  Remember those jaw breakers?

Anyway, the day before Mother's Day I started cleaning out my jewelry boxes on top of my dresser.  They were collecting dust and I decided to go through stuff.  Low and behold I came across 4 watches!  Needless to say, none of them worked but they only needed a battery.  So, the nice watch that Case & Jeff got for me had to be returned because I already had what I asked for (x4)!

It is hard to believe that one month from today, we will have a 2 year old!  Where has time gone?  The good news is that in the last week she has started walking more and more so we are sure we will have a walker by her birthday.  We are super excited for her and she is so pleased with her skills.


We met with an OT (occupational therapist) today regarding Siahna.  Looks like that will be another therapy session added to our list.  But, she had some good suggestions for "uncovering another layer of Siahna" since no one can figure out what's going on with her.  All the time, I am amazed over and over at how God had his hand on us to lead me to stay home with her.  It really is the best thing for her and we get out often enough that she is still social and exposed to other kids (and sicknesses).


Siahna is very observant and picks up a lot of new skills on her own just by watching people.  She is one happy little girl - unless it is nap time - and she adores her brother.  She has also learned how to ride her firetruck and loves scooting around the house on that.

She's not talking yet (although I'm pretty sure she can say "kitty") but she has learned how to say "please" in sign language and she says "give me" by opening and closing her hand.  So, usually everything is "give me, please."  Half the time we don't know what she wants, but she is adamant about saying "please."
