A Glimpse of Spring

This weekend really turned out to be the prettiest weather we've seen in a while (except for late last week - but who got to experience that?). The kids spent most of today outside and are anxiously looking forward to nice weather on a more regular basis.

Cooper went to the eye doctor this week - not much change, although he did say he had improved one step in each eye, continue patching, and that we will probably go from appointments every three months to every six months, after his full work-up in April.

He starts music this week and is super excited about that. He keeps asking about the instruments so I'm hoping Mrs. Windy comes through. We're pretty much potty trained - still wearing a diaper at night, but really no accidents during the day to speak of.

Abby is anxious to get back to playing ball. She actually has her first game five weeks from today. Tryouts are in two weeks, but she doesn't have to go through that since Tim is coaching.

Tim and I were given an opportunity this week to share with a family who has a six-month old little boy with a similar diagnosis as Cooper. It's really a God thing, because they live just down the street.

One more thing, my friend Michelle and I are blogging about various subjects God lays on our hearts and minds at www.gloryboundgirls.blogspot.com.

We're Pottying!!

When Cooper went back to "school" on Monday - he went back with NO diapers. He had a couple of accidents on Monday and Tuesday, but none yesterday or today. We'll see if we can keep this up!

I finally realized this whole pottying thing was bothering me a whole lot more than it was bothering him. Everyone kept saying he would do it in his own time, but I wanted it now.

The Christmas and New Year break flew by. We spent the majority of it just being together at home. The kids and I did, however, go to Arkansas with my parents and nephew the week after Christmas. It was a quick trip, but an enjoyable one. I got to see my uncle and both of my aunts, one of whom I haven't seen in three years.

We're now settling in for the cold weather this weekend. But looking forward to watching the game tonight! Stay warm everyone!
