Today my sweet Jonathan Daniel turned 5! Yes 5! Some days it seems like I held him for the first time yesterday and then some days the conversations we have make me forget he is only 5. He is a very kind boy and I am impressed with how good he is when he isn't being 5! Ha!
Jonathan is really doing great. He is big and strong and healthy. He's my picker little eater and is so smart and his memory...wow! He can remember so much stuff that it is scary! I love talking to him and getting his take on things. He sang at church with his preschool and he talks about his friends at school. It is amazing.
Zachary is 2 and is behaving like a typical 2 year old. It is like when he turned 2 he realized, "Oh this is how I'm suppose to behave and I have to make up for all the time I wasn't behaving crazy!". He is lucky I find him so darn cute. He is doing very well and making great progress. He is walking more steadily with his Sure Steps and is hitting new milestones. He now sees a speech therapist and he really warmed up to her! She is giving us some great tips on helping him communicate with us. I feel that is his biggest frustration right now.
We had PT today and she discussed some sensory issues and how they can cause so many other problems. But she also reminded me that he is 2 and some of his issues are normal. She wants him to maybe see an occupational therapist and a sleep study nurse. I am all for the both. Sleep would be really really nice. LOL
We got some news over Thanksgiving and I am asking for your prayers. My blog has been a great source of support for me and a place to express my thoughts. I am asking any of you who read this to please pray for my Mother-in-law. I am not going to discuss her personal issues here because I don't feel it is my place. But she was diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread to her liver. Please keep her in your prayers.
I hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas and are surronded by peace and love. Merry Christmas!

And things are quiet...
Nothing really interesting to report here. Sicknesses have come and gone or at least I think they have. We still have some coughing here and there and a runny nose here and there. Is it just a normal cold? I don't know.
Zachary has had a few bumps and the knot I found tonight has me worried. It is on top of his head near/on his still not fully closed soft spot. I go back and forth on that darn soft spot and just wish it would close already. He goes for his 2 year old check up on the 25th, which is not covered by insurance at all but let's not go there, and I plan on asking her about it again.
Speaking of medical bills, I was turned into the collection agency for $130 from several bills in May. I had been paying $10 a month but was told I had to give them $25 and when I said I couldn't I guess they didn't care. I gave them $10 (along with the other 5 places I gave $10 to) each mont but October. I had 2 RX's to pay for and it ate up some of my medical money. And then November 5th I get the letter. I then decided that I don't give a damn. I will pay all the other bills first and that place (SLU Care) will not get one penny of my money until I am caught up. I will pay the current bills but not that outstanding one.
Tomorrow we see the urologist for a follow up from Z's surgery last year (undescended testicles) to make sure things down there are all still good. He seems to think everything is okay because that sure is his new favorite toy!
We then have PT on Thursday. Zachary has made all sorts of progress. I was so excited to see him bend down and pick up a toy a few weeks ago, rather than dropping to the floor and picking up. Then today he was on the floor and went into the tripod position and stood up! Yay! My big boy is getting so big!
Jonathan is loving his school and making huge progress on his writing skills and drawing pictures. It is wonderful to see him blossom. I have pictures that he drew of our family and I am so impressed w/his blossoming skills that I hung them up on the living room wall. It has taken him forever to enjoy writing and drawing and to see him enjoying it and progressing is amazing! He even writes his name now. I can tell he is all about routine and I think when he finds his groove, he takes off!
I will update more later this week as my baby turns 2 on Saturday.
