A bad day fixed by the best redhead ever!

Today was a rough day for me. Just annoyed about the usual stuff i get annoyed with... So yeah, i was mopey all day up to dinner time. During dinner I was singing along with the songs on the kids playlist on itunes (which is often playing during dinner since tobin really enjoys it – he seems to wander less and sit more with music on) and when I was done dramatically singing a song of I Love Trash with Oscar the Grouch, Jonah looked at me with a huge smile and happy eyes and said, “you did a good job mommy” ! ! ! I have never heard him say that before. This isn’t something he has heard someone else say, (which is usually what his language consists of...echolalia). He did this one all on his own. I was so proud of his little 6 word sentence that it brought a tear to my eye and reminded me that no matter how annoyed I get at times, there is nothing that makes me happier than my kids (and chocolate cake! Hehe). During bath time tonight, Jonah practiced writing his name with shaving cream (something his teacher recommended) on the glass shower door. He seemed to really like this new writing method (and i loved the bathroom smelling like a clean fresh man). He can spell out and write his name….of course sometimes its only legible to him!
(wow, these pictures make the bath water look really gross....didnt think my kids were that dirty)

Way to Go Jonah. I choose to believe that your kids are clean but it is the bad lighting. I like how Ireland is hanging on to every word Jonah is writing.

That Jonah cracks me up! He is always pulling stuff like that out of no-where! Such a character! I really don't know where he gets it from?!!!

We miss you guys! *sigh*
