Being the mom to 3 boys, I have learned cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

Happy 11 Months Old
Isaac is 11 months old today! Unfortunately, he is sick. He woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever. I took the day off work today to stay home with him...of course the older boys are somewhat happy about that turn of events! I'm going to try to get some pictures of him this week once he if feeling better.

Dominic
With all the talk of the kids growing up, at times I forget for a moment or two they are still kids.
Last night after Isaac and Luke were asleep, Dominic climbed up in my lap - or most of him made it on my lap. He snuggled his face in my shoulder and I could smell is freshly washed hair. This is when my mommy heart melts...there is nothing like the smell of a freshly bathed child.
He looks up at me with his toothy grin and asks if I could rock him and sing to him until he fell asleep. Even with as tired I was at the moment, there was NO way I was going to pass up this small window of time with my oldest son. I rocked and sang and stroked his hair. He fell asleep on my lap. A little while later, I nudged him to tell him it was time to go to bed. He says, "Carry me." I chuckled because this is no longer an easy task. I managed it...making a mental note I need to work out more...and laid him in his bed. I whispered, "I love with my heart." As I stood up to leave his room, Dominic whispers, "Love you too, Mom. Thanks for letting me still be little sometimes."

Results
We received a letter yesterday that gifted services are not needed for Dominic at this time. That was the extent of the letter. Last year we were given his actual evaluation numbers but not this year. I emailed the coordinator of the program to obtain his results. We shall see...

Attempting some cleaning
Just like furniture in a room, I have gotten a little bored with arrangement of the this blog. So today I have been attempting to rearrange some gadgets and spice up the colors a bit. I'm hoping some of this is easier to read...let me know if it is not. I think I'm liking the arrangement and I might attempt the background next. The problem is I only do this..well....almost never so I might really screw it up!
