Good Wednesday Morning!


Well now that I am feeling better I thought I would type more of what has been happening in our household.


We had our yearly goal setting meeting at Payton's school on Monday. It was a great meeting and it is nice to hear how Payton is at school compared to home. He become great friends with Charlie. We are told they do everything together. Payton has improved so much from August and the goals that were set for Payton are right on cue and I know he will exceed all of them. If you haven't heard Payton's vocubulary is growing everyday. Payton gets speech therapy twice a week, occupational therapy once a week and physical therapy once a week. He gets speech therapy because of his verbal apraxia. He gets occupational therapy to get over some of his fears of getting his hands dirty and some other things and physical therapy to help stretch him. When Payton is not in shoes he walks on his toes. This has made him very tight in his achilles/calf region so they are going to work on helping him with this. He has great muscle tone for a 3 year old especially his calves.


Braxton is really starting to talk up a storm. He loves to pretend he is on the phone. He can sit and have a conversation with himself for 10 minutes. It is so cute. Due to Payton's delays Braxton is getting speech and development therapy every week. They come to the house and he gets to have play time with them for an hour. He loves this and we can see the improvement. He was getting occupational therapy but he was doing so well they are only going to see him every 6 months just to make sure he is still doing what he is suppose to be doing at his age.


Both boys are tall and lean. We know where they get the tall from but still trying to figure out the lean aspect. They love playing with each other and getting in trouble together. While Payton is more cautious and ask for permisson before, Braxton is more of ask for forgiveness and doesn't have any fears. Payton doesn't like to be dirty and Jeff and I have nicknamed Braxton "Pig Pen" because he is always dirty...
Well I guess that is all from our house for now. I know we have not posted pictures in awhile so I will try in the next couple of days. I promise.

Where did it all begin.....

This is a blog about the lives of a non-traditional midwestern family. I am a full time working mother of two beautiful boys and a wife to a stay at home husband. We were married on June 15, 2002 and were blessed with two boys, Payton (4-19-05) and Braxton (2-08-07).
