Us Right Now – March 19

jake
I think this was a good week for Jake. Not too stressful and somewhat productive. The best part was that he didn’t go to work early any morning this week which also meant he could take David to the bus every morning. Which made my day go so much more smoothly. I am excited to have Jake’s new schedule and life. He’s so much more relaxed and happy and around which is making all of us so happy.

I can’t really say this was a great week, but mostly due to a lot of pain in my back. I’ve somehow managed to injure it again and I can’t get the pain to go away. Despite the frustration and the low mood, it was a productive week at work. I did two dev channel pushes and I think we’re almost ready for next week. I just need to sit down and figure out what’s bugging me so I can make sure things are more positive for next week.

David is doing well. He seems to have made good friends with Julian and plays different games with him each day at school. He comes home happy and then reads his book with me and writes in his journal and does his workbooks. He eats his veggies and does most of this without too much complaining. He then spends a bunch of time on the iPhone playing different games. He’s such a sweet, good kid and I feel so lucky.

Nathaniel is learning more and more each week and this one was no exception. He now says done and me almost all the time. He watches all of us very closely and can understand pretty much anything. He also gets super excited when Daddy comes home and screams “daddy daddy daddy” in rapid fire and runs to give him a hug. It brings tears to my eyes each time. I really really love watching him play, laugh, eat, and live his life. He’s also learned to make kissing noises and makes them to me and to his stuffed animals occasionally. My little boy is soon going to grow up and I am trying hard to enjoy every single moment with him.
