| 19 Weeks- It's a boy! |
That's right, I'm totally outnumbered. Between Joseph and three boys, you won't be seeing any barbies or pink ribbons in our house anytime soon. Joseph said something funny on the way home from the doctor's office: "That means we can buy more super hero toys." I can't even tell you how many different versions of Spiderman and the Hulk we have laying around this place, not to mention how many versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was hoping maybe we wouldn't have to buy any more toys at all!
I got up early this morning. This hasn't happened in months. I've pretty much slept until 7:00 or later every day since November, which is unusual for me. Ever since I read a book called Shopping for Time back when Austin was a baby, my goal has been to get up at 5:00 or shortly thereafter. I really enjoy the peace and quiet that comes at 5:00 a.m. when all the boys are asleep (or still at work). This morning, I've been able to read my Bible, play on the internet, listen to some Sojourn music, have breakfast and write this blog post, and it's only 6:15 a.m. Realistically, with a new baby coming this summer, I know that these early risings are going to be few and far between for awhile (middle of the night feedings don't count!), but I'm certainly looking forward to when my body will let me get up early again on a regular basis.
David has started going to speech classes at a local public school, and he loves it. We weren't able to get a spot at Austin's school, so David has been able to take ownership of what he calls, "my school." (well, it really sounds more like "nine gool") He has made great strides with his speech since Christmas, which is very encouraging. I think he's finally hit the point where he is ready to talk, and boy does he have a lot to say!
One of David's favorite things to do these days is to draw. I find his scribbles on scraps of paper all over the house. Thankfully, he doesn't color on the wall or furniture, at least not on purpose. He uses lots of colors when he scribbles. It's very beautiful and abstract :)
Speaking of David, he has just emerged from his room, so I guess my free time is over for now. Have a good Sunday, everyone!
