Little of this, little of that

What a week!! When it comes to Thursday, it feels as if it should be Friday or perhaps even Saturday because I've worked so much and am worn out, but I have to keep on trucking to get the week done.

This week has been a really exciting week for Mason. He has really started to get around on his knees. No longer does he do the worm, but he is actually crawling on his knees. Also, he has started to stand from sitting. He had been pulling up on furniture around the house, but just this week will stand in the middle of the floor. He even does it without using his hands. Since he has low muscle tone, Mason is able to hyperextend his knees and gets up. The person that we meet with one a month with the county to evaluate his development, was really impressed yesterday. She thinks that he will be walking in the next month or so. With this anticipation, we have decided to have another physical therapy evaluation in the middle of next month. He may not actually need therapy, but she will give us good ideas of what to do to help his development.

Jay had his 3rd soccer game last night. Each game, Jay has improved. The first week he couldn't keep his hands off people and ball control wasn't there. Last night, he was playing without using his hands and really dribbles the ball well. He scored a couple of goals last night when the ball wasn't stolen from him by his own players.

This morning we spent a couple of hours with his friends from school for Baer's birthday. We went to Monkey Joe's for about 2 hours of fun. I think all of them were pretty worn out afterward.

So great to hear about Mason's development! Morgan - you are a GREAT mom. You are doing such a great job - it's hard to balance work, kids, hubby, church, family, all the responsibilities life brings. But you are doing it, one day at a time! Keep plugging away, don't sweat the small stuff, and don't miss the little moments throughout the day to give and receive love. Prayed for you today!
