my birthday's in a few weeks. i must be getting old or something. i cannot think of anything i really, really want this year. maybe see a movie and eat a favorite meal? or take a nap? nothing's really jumping out at me yet. perhaps i'll get an idea in the next few weeks, just as the law of attraction stipulates.
in other news, i have an idea of when tom will be back. i'm not allowed to say yet and i'm hoping they don't change it. we have made the halfway mark!!
Journey: n. An experience or process that leaves you changed; trail of experience. From here to there.

All I want for Christmas....
Well, Collin won't be getting it for Christmas this year or probably not even next year. He had his major dental work done while being sedated, and had to have a front top tooth pulled. Poor kid, he is a trooper though. He is almost back to his normal self, just a little less than 24 hours later.
The funniest part was that Ivy's jealous Collin lost a front top tooth before her. She has had both top front teeth loose for awhile, but still intact. Luckily, we don't have to do the Tooth Fairy bit with Collin--we don't have the tooth, and he doesn't understand what money is. He probably wouldn't understand the whole Tooth Fairy concept either. :)

Action Hero Babe exercise
Official results coming on Monday. Missed some & swapped for some shorter workouts for a couple weeks--me & the kids taking turns being sick and at one point sleep was a higher priority so I could function the next day, but i stuck to the clean eating the whole time. My goal pants are fitting me! I just wanted to drop that last pant size I was holding onto, and now I'm there.

Andrew again
I found out last week from his speech therapist, that there was the possibility that Andrew's language has improved so much within the past 2 months that he may not qualify for services from Regional Center. Honestly, the thought had never entered my mind.
As of yesterday, it looks like Andrew has gone from 37% delay to 12-25% delay. Regional Center won't give services unless there is a 33%+ delay. So, we have at least next week, but I'm not sure past that. The speech therapist still recommended another month or two of therapy because Andrew still needs it, but at this point it seems highly doubtful as there is no state budget in place. No budget=no services. Not sure what I'm going to do. The school district won't pick him up for services for 9 months.
Also, regarding Andrew, anybody know how I can get him to stop biting other children? It doesn't happen very often, but I'd say 99.9% of the time, somebody else is the instigator(taking a toy away that he's playing with, getting in his personal space, etc.). A lot of this stems from he can't tell others to back up, leave him alone, or give him his toy/turn. In any case, he's broken skin twice, and bit someone on the cheek a couple days ago. It really bugs me that I find out at the end of church, instead of right after it happens. Another thing that really bugs me is hearing about how somebody's kids didn't start talking until after they were 2 or 3 years old. That is just not normal!! I do have aspirations & goals for both boys.
