Just random

Besides some boogers (both in our noses & smeared on Hayden's bedroom wall), I think we are healthy!  Yay!

Yes... Hayden's wall.  He is officially that kid.  That kid who picks his boogers & leaves them random places for us to find.  Bathroom counter.  Kitchen table.  And ALL over the wall by his bed.  I may have to sand & repaint!  At least he doesn't eat them?

People all around us are sick.  A few of my poor co-workers kids are having winters like we did last year.  Constant nebulizers.  Hospitalizations.  :(

I feel so bad for them, but inside I'm just so excited, like shout it to the mountain tops excited, that we are rocking this winter (from a respiratory standpoint anyways) after last year.  We aren't even giving Livi any steroids.  Ok, so we have the prescription & we did start it this fall... but keeping up with it is very hard & we failed.  I didn't want to 1/2 ass do it & if she got sick wonder if steroids would have kept her healthy.  So we just didn't do it, decided to rather give her a chance to prove herself.  And she has been fine!  Maybe she will grow out of this after all? 

We have been doing some extra Vitamin D this winter... and maybe its just a coincidence, but maybe that Vitamin D is doing that much for them?  And they are a little older & stronger too.  Whatever it is, I'm glad.  Not that we haven't had our share of crud.  I'm just glad their lungs are tolerating their crud.

And after last weeks video.... look what came home from school yesterday!! 

Actually not his best H, he really has that letter down, but look at that effort!

And this is awesome!

Livi is not much for participation.  She tells me "I didn't write my letters at school today because I didn't want to."  BUT... she is talking there now!  Like in a group setting even!  Poor shy thing will break out of that shell someday.  They have learned so much at school in just 12 short weeks!!  And just 2 days a week... its incredible really!
