Eyes, Nose and Mouth...Oh my!

ok...so yesterday was a down day.  I had a headache, I was tired and was having a tough time watching Brady struggle.

I want to turn my view point around today so I thought I would blog about some great news concerning Brady and some funnies from the girls.

Brady has never been able to point out body parts, most specifically his face.  Lucey has been doing this for months.  Many months.  So we have been working with him more.  He has finally been doing it!  YAYYY!  It started by me asking where his eyes were and he would blink them.  Ask him about his nose and he would wrinkle it.  Move to the mouth and he would open it.  Now though he is full on pointing to them.  I am over the moon!  I keep asking the poor kid to show me.  I am sure he is tired of it by now.  He also makes noises with each one.  The only one close enough for others to understand is "eyes" and he says that one pretty spot on.  The nose and mouth need work but he knows where they are so I am gonna take it.  Just watch your eyes because he is none to gentle when showing you where yours are. 

Lucey is exploding with her words and phrases and such lately.  it is amusing to listen to her too because of course she is a little sponge and she picks up on everything she hears.  some of the cute things out of her mouth? "I awake. get drink, snack now?"  When we get somewhere and she has taken off her shoes and socks in her carseat, as has Brady, she looks at me and says, "shoes, socks off.  Bubs too Mom."  and her favorite..."I want uppy."

I am trying my hardest to make sure to celebrate her words as hard as I am working on Brady's.  I suppose for any mom with one child needing some help that balance is a tough one but I think having two the same age sometimes adds to my difficulties.

Josey is all about school and learning.  Which is awesome.  We recently found a website with a camera in an owlhouse 24/7.  She is constantly asking for me to "turn the owl on".  She will sit and watch to see what Molly the owl is doing.  What is she eating.  How many babies have hatched etc. They are studying balls at school.  *giggle giggle*  She is bargaining with me about which of her balls she wants to take.  I think I will have to buckle today and let her take her "princess" one since that is the one she is fixated on. 

Ok...so we have gymnastics this morning, school after that(my turn to carpool) and then Zumba this evening.  so we have a busy day ahead.  off to get it started.
