sensory fun

thanks jenn, i owe this one all to you.

today was technically 'd-day' although i am aware that kohen has sensory processing disorder, nothing says 'official' like receiving a 121 page assessment. so now it's in black & white. copy for me, copy for dad, copy for teacher, copy for the doc, i have copies coming out of places the sun doesn't shine.. srsly. aren't we of the new generation? e-mail people. we would have saved many trees with this process.

anyways. miss amomynous has an in-home daycare and told me today that she fills up a bucket with dish soap and water, making soapy water for the kids to explore. part of his sensory disorder is that he's always seeking for sensory input. what better way than water, bubbles, and accessories!?

so i copied you, yes jenn, call the copy police! alert the officials! hear it now!
i.copied.you.

okay now that we have dealt with that, want pictures?

the screeches and giggles tell me that this was fun. even if it only lasted 10 minutes before they just dumped the buckets. next on the list: teach nuggets not to dump buckets. 'nuff said.

diaper buggy

this past weekend was kid-free.
i'm not willing to discuss my feelings, just yet, on how i feel about these weekends. although i love the downtime and time to rejuvenate i hate it. i miss them so incredibly much. i do appreciate our relationship much more & i find they do as well. we all have come to appreciate each other at a totally different level.
so, that being said, this past weekend i was able to attend a baby-shower for a good friend of mine whom is expecting her 3rd child, a boy logan, in the middle of september.

everything came about last minute so i grabbed her a bag of newborn diapers &decided that i would make a diaper carriage/buggy. i've seen a picture floating around pinterest for a while and thought how hard could it be. i grabbed my supplies, a few items for the babes, and was going to create it. did i mention this was friday night? (i gave myself a lot of time didn't i incase i crashed and burned on this project) but,i did not! set your mind to something you will prevail!
now i kick myself that i didn't take pictures of me doing it during the process!
for all those doubters (dustin), i proved you wrong! &was/am so proud of my creation - hit it out of the park.

Kim loved it! &to add to her overstimulated hormones already and making sure that i did make her cry (i'm mean, i know!) i also contacted a friend of mine whom is the owner of kozy kaps by krystal to see if she had any sock monkey hats already made because my friend wanted one so incredibly badly, again i rock, totally got it! had her crying, it was awesome.
congrats again kim & brandon! i can't wait to meet logan! xo.
