Oh boy do we love this weather!! Where to begin, many things have happened over the past few days :)!! Tagen had his first year of preschool graduation (he will be in preschool one more year) The graduation was so adorable, they sang songs, and got hats along with a little year book, and some gifts from the teachers. It's little ceremonies like that, you really appreciate the small things. The teachers he had were amazing, I'm not sure if he would of really liked school as much as he did without them! As we were leaving the school on his last day he looked up at me and said " hey mom, do you think we can plan a gradeation (graduation) party?" ha ha of course my answer was I don't think so, and he responded with " well, do you think I will get presents?" ha ha he's too cute for his own good!
We have started slowly introducing Aubrey to table food, which is going good so far (fingers crossed) some complication have been coming about, but nothing major that we can't take care of at home. Her PT has left us on maternity leave, and she will be starting to see a new PT for the time being... hopefully Aubrey is going to be a good girl and do the work, she very much knows what she wants to do and what she doesn't! We had our appointment with the down syndrome clinic in Boston , we saw many specialist on that day, a down syndrome pediatrician, a dentist, a speech pathologist, a nutritionist, and a PT. The all had good news to give us on how Aubrey is progressing, and how as of right now they have no concerns that need to be addressed. PHHHHEWWW, this was a huge weight off our shoulders, to hear specialist in Boston tell us that she is looking good so far, and that have no major concerns, until next time we can be a little be at ease. She also had a hearing test, why? because children with down syndrome are more likely to have hearing loss. There are many things that go along with down syndrome you wouldn't suspect, Hearing being one of them. Thankfully she also past that with flying colors, yet another sigh of relief.
Today with this sweet sweet sunshine, we were by the pool all day, on the swing set and so on. Tagen and Aubrey loved it. At first Aubrey was not to thrilled about the cold pool water but once she saw Tagen in it, she was okay with it. It is amazing how she reacts to anything Tagen does, and how much she observes him. Tagen of course is 4 and really has a hard time just sitting around and playing with his sister, but he does it. He was pushing her on the swing, along with holding her while they went down the slide. Just to see the fun, and joy on each of their face - Tagen's being a proud big brother because he is "teaching" her new things that big kids do, and Aubrey getting the attention she wants from her big Brother. oh sweet sweet sunshine, I hope you last for a while, because these memories we are making are forever!!
