Snow Days!

Oh, the life of a teacher in Ohio. I have thoroughly enjoyed my five day weekend with my husband and kiddos (will we make it six? just kidding). It's kind of funny to hear teachers talk, I really believe we enjoy these days just as much as the students. Well, maybe I should specify, high school students. I have a little guy here that was pretty upset he didn't have school on Thursday. His class was having a beach theme day and he was supposed to take in his swimming trunks and a beach towel. According to Dawson, he was going to be swimming at school. I'm not too sure about this, since his school doesn't have a pool. I really wish I would've recorded our conversation. I know that ten years from now he would never believe that he was sad to have a snow day. Oh, how things change! I think you would agree from the picture below that he still really enjoyed his snow day.

Snow Day Dawson!

I enjoy staying inside, making hot cocoa and hanging with Audrey while the boys are out to play.Audrey and I were not alone for long, as Lane didn't quite enjoy the snow as much as Dawson.

Not Snow Happy, Lane

Lane was happy to come back inside and play with all of the racecars in our house. This is really the only time he gets to play with them without a fight. A few months ago I had to explain to Dawson why I couldn't put Lane in a bouncy seat so he could play with his cars. Dawson goes to all extents to make sure Lane can't get to his cars during a "big race." He puts up gates and blockades. When those don't work he sits at the island in the kitchen. You can see why Lane was happy to be back inside.

Lane keeps us busy trying to figure out his own unique language. Oh, if he would just talk! It would be so much easier around here. He continues to speak "Chopnese" according to Dawson.

Audrey & Dawson

Loving her big brother!

Audrey has had a busy week. She's doing a few new things that we're excited about. She loves to yell, she has found her voice and wants everyone to know it. She is also rolling over! Yay, Audrey! I am working on getting my disk finalized so I can upload it on here for you to see. I think it's great that Audrey is rolling over, I'm not so sure she agrees. She really doesn't like being on her belly, so after she rolls over she uses that voice to let us know she's not enjoying tummy time one bit. This week was also another first for Audrey-her occupational therapy appointment, as suggested by the Neonatal follow-up clinic. The appointment went well, she actually seemed relaxed when the OT, Jeri, went through the exercises with her. I received homework and we've been working! Hopefully we'll get her in the shape to enjoy tummy time.

Well, like I said a few posts before...it was a fluke! Audrey and I haven't had another full night of sleep. So, I should probably finish up this post and get some sleep before Audrey's midnight snack. Pray for me, hoping to see this adorable sign on Audrey's door ringing true tonight (love it, thanks Deb)!
