She's normally very happy and talkative and LOVES to be right in the middle of whatever the boys are doing! Today however she was not her normal self because she was teething like there was no tomorrow. Finally I had the epiphany that I should maybe give her some tylenol because it was obvious she was in some pain and it was like a miracle. She was back to her happy go lucky self in minutes. I know it hasn't been that long since the boys have had bad teething pain but it's amazing how quickly things like that leave your brain to think to do. I definately will not make that mistake again!
We also had a play date with friends of ours, Lori and Leah. They came over to play around 10 or so, and we had a really great time. I always like it when Leah comes over because it's fun to have a little girl around. I'm positive that Hannah is going to be really close with the boys as she grows older. Already they really like one another. So playing with Leah is like a look into the future with Hannah. Girls are so different and so fun.
Lori and Leah left when the boys got sleepy, and Lysander and Hannah ended up taking a nap at the same time. Isaac on the other hand wanted some alone mama time. He decided he wanted to "flay" with cars. Then we got the batcave out and played "eros". He is a constant source of chatter. He will tell you who all the heros are, who the cars are, what colors they are, what they are doing, and he if doesn't know what something is, he will ask and ask and ask until he gets a sufficient answer. It was nice to have some time just him and me.
We also had speech therapy today for Lysander. Thankfully, Lysander really enjoys going to speech therapy and we have a wonderful speech therapist, whose name also happens to be Hannah! I think there are a couple of reasons that he likes going. First and foremost he really enjoys getting to go for a ride in the truck all by himself. I think he feels like it's a special trip since it's just him going. Hannah really knows how to draw things out of him. He is so smart it's scary sometimes so it's frustrating that his speech is delayed. Luckily so far that is all Hannah thinks is wrong. He doesn't have a huge interest in learning to speak so he is just stubbourn about it. We have seen so much progress in his speech though. He tries now to repeat words when we ask him too and he even does it on his own without being asked to now. It's not clear, and that's still a concern, but it's getting better. There is a sensory room in the building, and Lysander loves to go in there and play. He talks up a storm when we go in that room. Of course he doesn't use it for anything but play, still, it's really fun. I even liked it.
When we got home Isaac had just woken up from his nap and was really upset because I wasn't there when he woke up. He is having some seperation anxiety from me, which I can't figure out. It started around the time Grover left, but I'm not sure it's directly related. Maybe he's just going through a phase. It breaks my heart though, and it doesn't particularly make the people who are watching him feel very good. He loves his Gigi and Aunt Rae very much and has never had a problem being left before so it's a bit disheartening.
To top all that craziness off, it SNOWED earlier today and I am so tired of Winter. March 30th is very close to APRIL and I'd love to be able to work out in the yard and long for the day that we can play outside for hours and the boys will be so tired at night that they will go right to sleep! All I have to say is Mother Nature needs to get her $%*! together!!!
