Chinese

Zack speaks Chinese.  Not actual Chinese, but just a different language we can’t understand.  I had him tested for speech therapy.  Thankfully he failed the first round!  (YAY!)  Not only did he fail in speech, but he also failed his hearing and eye test too.  (That was more because he wouldn’t corroporate).  So we had to go in and get specialized testing.

This first test was in May.  I was a little nervous when they told me is next test wouldn’t be until mid July.  I really wanted him in this class because Ben was in something like it and it helped him so much.  So I let Zack watch Caliou (a show that drives me crazy so I ban it from our house) and prayed he wouldn’t improve too much that he didn’t get into the class.  I know that sounds terrible.  He went in for his one on one and he passed one part Sad smile but failed the other!  So he gets to go to walk in speech therapy once a week.  Not the twice a week class I was hoping for, but I’m so grateful it’s something!

Funny things to remember.  Mid test Zack just gets up and says, “ok, mom – let’s go…I’m done”  and getting a little upset that the lady wasn’t prepared with cars for him to play with.  We were dying laughing at his face…such utter shock that she wouldn’t have the correct cars for him.  Love this car loving boy of mine!

Surprises

This magazine came in the mail a few weeks ago.

As I was standing over the trash flipping through it before I tossed it, I saw someone I thought I recognized….

Sure enough that was Christopher in the featured article that was mentioned on the cover!  That little punk didn’t even let anyone know he was going to be in a magazine!  He’s just to humble.  Luckily for everyone else…I’m not.  I really proud of this humble man of mine!

Shopping

Since Ben is old enough to stay home with Zack, I’ve gotten out of the habit of taking him shopping with me.  When the kids were all in swim team I had to take Zack to the store more often….and now I remember why I’m not a fan.  I made the rookie mistake of walking past the toy aisle.  Big HUGE mistake.  Let’s just say Target was the only store we went to, and we left with tears and screaming…….

Rascal....

Such a busy little rascal. Helping load the dirty dishes.  

Summer thunder storms

No better way to watch them than outside on the swing wrapped in a blanket with family.

Yoga

Christopher and Kallie have decided to do yoga together to get Kallie ready for soccer.  The other night I heard the tape playing so I decided to check up on them.  I found this…

The two of them laying on the floor watching the video.  Well, baby steps right?
