Ty's first day of school--he wouldn't pose for me...
It's funny but after several days of riding the emotional rollercoaster, life was pretty sweet today. Lily and Ty had no school so we spent the morning watching TV and just enjoying being home--I did have some special moments with the potty (silly me for thinking morning sickness is gone for good!). Lily woke up in the most pleasant mood and she sat and cuddled with me on the sofa for quite a while before Ty woke up. She has had sort of an awakening and understands so much and is curious about so much that it boggles my mind. I can catch a glimpse of the furture with her which should be really fun. Ty has also had an awakening--in his ears! His surgery went perfectly and we notice a BIG difference in his hearing. He has been imitating new words almost non-stop since he came out of recovery. His first day of school was Wednesday and he had a ton of fun. He did not, however, eat a bite of his lunch, which is pretty consistent with him, but still frustrating for us! This too shall pass... back to today, we ran some errands and then ended up at the mall for lunch, where we all sat at a little table. What a joy to just look at their little faces and try to freeze the moment in my brain. They played in the "germ pit" (thanks for the monaker Lisa :)) and Lily told me she had a skunk, a Barbie doll, and a flashlight in her arms (all invisible) and she kept up the charade all the way until we got home--so very cute. She has been interested in skunks lately after a Curious George episode featured one. So funny what captures their interest, you know?And she calls the woods the "woodens," so she reported that her skunk was lost in the woodens--I hate that this age, as difficult as it is sometimes, will someday end. This afternoon during the 4-5 o'clock witching hour I took the kids outside to play in the front yard--they had a blast! And when Todd got home, all Ty wanted to do was play catch. I really felt like today was my rainbow after several days of rain. I just thank God for all the days I have with my babies because the only thing certain in life is change and they won't be my babies forever. Cheers...
