What a week!

Well, it's been quite a week. The dizzy spell starting it off didn't make for an easy going, fun-filled first week of Summer for Erin. Tuesday was a recovery day for us and adjusting to daddy going back to work. Wednesday Anna had her first Speech Therapy appointment here at the house. I really liked our therapist, but get tired of having to answer so many questions about what she can and can't do. You think you would know everything your child has the ability to do, but then someone asks you, "does she ever do this..." and you just go blank. Our goal this week is to work on getting Anna to imitate sounds, so if you here me repeating animal noises or car sounds over and over again, you'll know why. We did both learn a few new sign language words, so I'm happy about that. There is one small issue the therapist is concerned about, so if you'll just pray that the Lord gives me peace about the situation and which avenue to pursue, I'd appreciate it. Thursday was a challenging day from start to finish. Anna is really testing her independence, so much that she felt she should be able to push the cart at Target while sitting in it. Didn't want my hands anywhere near it. Stupid me tried to squeeze a quick grocery trip in too, which led to opening a bag of goldfish in the store and letting Anna have full reigns of it and eating half of it. By 6:00 when daddy got home I declared myself off duty, fell asleep on the couch at 7 and was in bed by 8. Friday was a little better because we stayed home and played games and cleaned the playroom. So there's our not so luxurious week in a nutshell. Erin didn't complain much, she enjoys being home and doing art. Anna has taken to art now too and climbs up to the table and starts coloring with Erin. I'm just praying that next week is a little less stressful, then again, Anna will be closer to the age of 2 with every passing day!!!!!
