Tonight when Tobie was leaving for Tennis, Paige out of the blue says “Bye mommy, have fun, come back“.  She actually said come back.  How funny is that?  Of course mommy will come back Paige, I don’t think she’s been away from you for more than a hour in the 2.5 years you’ve been around!  When Tobie came back, Paige immediately grabbed her tennis racket and said “I’m going to tennis”.  She then proceeded to put on Tobie’s hat and shoes and racket around her shoulder and tried to open the door and walk out of the house.  I wonder if Paige has Tobie’s backhand.

Trapped in the sheets

So whereas preschool is starting in a mere 35 days(!!!!!!), our therapies are slowly coming to an end.  We were going to have all therapies end when they turn 3 years old, but our therapists are realizing how awesome our P and C are, and everything is ceasing here in the next month.  We have a new speech therapist that started with us last week.  After today’s session she said not only are our kids not developmentally delayed, but they are advanced in what is expected of toddlers their age.  How freakin’ cool is that!!!!  So she is going to do one more evaluation next week and either suggest discontinuation of therapy or possibly one hour a month until January.  Same as our PT therapy.  Wow.  I can’t tell you how good it feels to know that there are no delays and they are so normal.

Life is good.

When did going to the bathroom become a group activity?

Dear Paige,

Thank you for being great when I got home from work yesterday.  I don’t know what mommy was talking about. But I digress, did you really need to wake up and scream from 2 to 4 am this morning?  Was that necessary?  And when I broke down and brought you to our bed, did you really need to lay perpendicular to mommy and me and force mommy to go sleep in the other room? And did you really need to dig your feet into my back as I made a feeble attempt to try to get at least 3 hours of sleep? This better be an ear infection or I’m going to be building your own room…outside.  I’m just saying.

 Love always,

 Daddy
