Spring is here!




Wishing all the moms out there a happy mother's day! Liam wrote a great story about his mom, mentioning more than once that his mom's favorite thing to do is sleep in! How well they know me.



Now that spring is here we are enjoying the warm weather and spending a lot of time outside. We also decided it was time to start potty training Ethan! Not fun, not something I enjoy and although we have some good days with no accidents we also have some really bad days. Hopefully by the time he starts preschool in Sept, he will mostly trained.






Ethan's vocabulary is really expanding rapidly. The downside is that he can not say most consonant sounds, so it is difficult to understand him. We took him to an appt at Boston Children's Hospital last week. They tested his speech and the therapist recommended that he receive speech therapy 2-3 times a week and right now he only sees the therapist once a week. So I was on the phone all week trying to find another therapist, no luck so far, hoping this week goes better. Other than the speech therapy, everything is the same, no surgery until he is 4-5 yrs old.

Liam is busy with school and travel soccer. We are talking about a trip to Vietnam, that would be a wonderful thing if we can figure out how to do it with Ethan being so busy. It might be a trip for Patrick and Liam this time around, I will keep everyone updated. Nyla is busy with rec soccer, school and ballet. She is learning to read and is sooooooo excited to start first grade in September. Hope everyone is well and I will post again soon.
