Catch Up

Things have been fast paced the last week. Maddux's physical therapist referred us to a Cranio Facial Plastic Surgeon. He prescribed a helmet for Maddux's misshapen head (called Brachycephaly). We went to an orthotic/prosthetic specialist to be scanned for a helmet, and now we are waiting for it to come it. I am a bit emotional about it. I fully support the decision, but it will be really hard to not see his little head for 3 months! Or kiss it or snuggle him. We will cross that emotional break down when it happens.

This is the last week of school, so Cooper has been busy with class activities. Savannah and him have learned to bug each other and fight quite well. I am really bummed that I will have to entertain them all summer just so we can keep the peace around here!

Cooper and Savannah have both crashed this week. Savannah was pushed off a toy on to a driveway, and her face looks like road kill. Cooper crashed his scooter and skinned his hand and arm. Another fun activity was Savannah's 4 year old check up. She weighs 29 lbs (under 5%, not on the chart) and is 39 1/2 inches tall (50%). The dr gave us the choice to get her kindergarten shots now, or wait until next year. I decided to get them now so as to not have the experience seared into her memory at an older age. Cooper still talks about his 4 shots and how he ran away and hid from the nurse. It was not fun.

I also took 3 days off last weekend to let the house go and the kids run a muck to read my most beloved book, Scarlett, the sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. I wanted to name Savy Scarlett, and then Rhett was a runner to be Maddux's name. It was nice to escape into a book. Funny how when the book is finished, your life is still in chaos and your worries and problems are still there. It was a nice mini vacation while it lasted.

Events to look forward to this week: Humanitarian Enrichment Class put on by me, Kindergarten Graduation, Last day of school Luau, waiting for the helmet.... the list goes on.
