jake
Jake had a big week at work this week. Many big and small changes coming our way. I must admit that I am quite scared but also very excited and happy for him. He’s been happy and relaxed all week, despite having to go to bed quite late and wake up at 3:30am every single day. He’s so amazing. I can never understand how he does it. We’ve been getting quite a lot of us-time this week, too, which I love.

I’m tired. That’s the most appropriate sentence this week I think. CHA was wonderful but emotionally and physically tiring. So I need to rest. But work’s been hectic and Jake’s parent are visiting and so I just continue to feel behind and tired and worn out. Things will improve, I am sure. In the meantime I am proud that I continue to chug through and do my art, exercise and read to my kid. I just try to take it one day at a time.
david
David had a pretty good week at school this week. He came home happy every day and got a lot of “I like you” instagrams from his classmates. He is going to be six next week. I cannot believe how quickly time is passing. He is a champion reader now and spells amazingly well as well. At least when he’s with me. I think we need to focus on math for a while so he can be completely comfortable with that as well. I am just thankful that he’s doing well, being good and kind to others, and in general trying his best. I am so proud of him.
nathaniel
Nathaniel is still all about the choo-choo but now he’s more demanding and wants a specific one. He’s speaking like a champ. Repeats so many words. I am not sure how great the concept comprehension is but his vocabulary and ability to speak is already way above and beyond anything David did at his age. Which hopefully means he will not have the same speech issues David did. He still continues to be super-cute and giggles and smiles all the time. And his voice is like an angel. Makes you want to hug him pretty much all day long.
and here’s the card version:
