Girly Things

Well my daughter did not disapoint me, she got done with her dance at dress rehearsal and said “I want to do that again!” Thats my girl! Oh how cute they all were and you could tell how hard they were trying. They were all so good too, they just sat and patiently waited these kids are 3 and 4 years old! I was so proud of them. Afterwords, Diva sat and watched the rest of these kids dance and when her teacher got up on stage she was so excited “miss trina!” All in all a wonderful experience for her and I and of course “Bubba” was there to see her and he was so cute watching her. I have video if anyone wants to see I would happily let you watch it. Daddy was unable to go but as promised I have video and pictures from the front row we can’t wait to show him.

Hello all,

I am so sorry that I have been so lax on posting, this is something that I really enjoy but unfortunatly gets pushed to the back burner.  My last post was on Jan 4th, two days later I was in the hospital.  My perfect Angel post was actually a medical problem that resulted in (THANK GOD) my collapse in front of my coworkers and my first and hopefully last ambulence ride.  I realize now that even though it was seriously embarassing for my coworkers to call 911 on me, I am very glad that I had the help I needed.  Since then I have found the most fabulous doctor who when she first met me she exclaimed how “excited” she was to treat me, we just clicked right off the batt and I know that all will be fine now.

Anyway enough about me, I want to tell you all about my pride and joy’s.

 First off Hubby and I had a meeting with some fabulous people who work for our school district.  JJ has undergone an extensive test series and has been evaluated for his learning development.  We got some absolutly fabulous news, JJ is actually very inteligent but has a few  development issues that we need to work on.  One is a small speech problem example he says or pronounces Learned Learnd-ded and all such words, he also has some issues with some other lsounds like the “th” sound and a few others.  He now sees a speech therapist once a week and I have already seen some progress, he actually came home and told me about his “error” in prounouctiation and is so excited about his progress.  The other issue is his small motor skills, he actually has such weak mucsles in his hands (you would never believe it this is such a strapping boy!) that he can not move his wrist when writing.  He sees the absolute most fabulous woman who is working with him on writing with a special grip and even zipping his own zippers to tying his shoes to special knots that use his fine motor skills..  This is all so amazing to me, I knew he was weak in these areas, I just did not realize what an impact it would have on his learning.  They have also introduced typing for future public projects.   The one thing that I love about this fabulous group of people is that they love working with him.  They actually said that he is so sweet and they look forward to being with him, he has the most desire to please and they love it, he sees his progress and he is just as excited as they are.  I also have to say that my beutifull boy is now as tall as my chin!  I lay that baby boy across my lap and scold him for growing up so dang fast!  I try to tell him he can’t eat anymore, but he won’t listen….those dang “lucky charms” anyway!

Little missy, well, she turned 3 and well…thats it.  She now thinks she has to do everything mommy does, she sits with me when I do my makeup, she sits with me when I do my hair, she wants matching shoes and clothes that mommy has, she sings just like I did when I was a kid, she dances thru life,  I know that JJ will go to college he has that “drive” that I never did, and I wan’t both of them to have that desire to learn and be everything they want to be.  I think JJ will be some creative computer programer, and well, l can’t say what I think Diva might do.  Too early to tell, I do know she will make a great mommy, she can keep track of “all of her babies” she has over 6 she knows where they are at all times. 

Anyway, I enjoy so much sharing with you all and promise to do so much better now that I am well.  Love to you all, Miss you too…

January 3,2007

I cannot decribe my day, I will only say I stopped off early this morning and was inspired to buy a beutifull arrangment of flowers…

For who you might ask…I am not so sure.  Or sure I would wan’t to let that magic go.  How many of us in our thirtysomethings believe in magic, Santa, or especially Angels???  My Husband, my friends and family and someone I do not know who has been watching out for me do.  I know that ALL of my friends and family do believe in angels even if we have not talked about it in a while we do.  I do too.  Thank you to my Angel who ever you are.  You gave me one of the best gifts of my life today, and I want you to know that these flowers are for you…for all of you, my family and friends too…  thank you, and I love you all.

 I sure hope everyones Christmas was wonderful.  We had the best of times, I love having 4 days off!!  Totally gets you in the Christmas Sprit.   My Kids were so much fun this year, JJ who is 8 now is in the perfect age of wonder, He has been asking for a Chia pet and a nutcracker for years, and got both, the wonder in his eyes was so much fun.  Diva was way more quiet than him….see pictures, I think the whole scenario of Santa is too much for her right now but the Joy of getting “Dancing princesses” is way more exciting than “Santa”.

 Now This is Excitement, he has been hounding me about moon sand for months!  Of course caution too the parent, that this stuff is MESSY!!!  Gets all over the carpet!

 okay I know she does not look excited but oh isn’t she beutiful!  i remember a picture of Uncle Reck when he was about 7 that just captured his sweet little soul and this one does it for me….okay call me sappy…but this is my girl who is always wanting to grow up…be a cheerleader “like Mommy”  be a dancer “like mommy” go to work “like mommy”  This gives me hope, maybe she will be something totally different!  Let’s try Astronaut, or Rocket scientist, Hey Mommy was big into Science too (Hmmm is it too late to turn her around?) Oh those in the peanut gallery need not answer! 

Oh Okay, so ANOTHER SAPPY moment, this is the moment that my sweet baby boy gave me the present he was sooooo excited about!  he gave me a beutifull neckalace saying “mom I love you.”  How sweet is that?  My boy hopefully my sweet little boy for always so sweet…I found him sleeping all curled up around Lanie this morning….protecting her.  So Sweet.
