May Happenings

We have been spending LOTS of time outside...it has been so nice. Riley is one of those kids that you have to drag inside kicking and screaming. I think he would sleep outside if we would let him. I can't believe he will be THREE on May 24th. He finished his speech therapy last month and passed the assessment with flying colors. Now he talks NON STOP! He is still going to OT once a month but will soon finish that as well. Kindermusik ended this past Monday and he will really miss his buddies and Miss Lisa. He is still taking gymnastics every week and LOVES it!

Maddie will be 10 months old on May 25. She has such a sweet, fun-loving personality. She always wakes up with a smile on her face. Her favorite thing to do is to start clapping everytime she hears music. She also has a very contagious laugh.

I just finished up a round of steroid injections for hip/back/leg pain. After much therapy and not much improvement, my doctor sent me for an MRI yesterday. I didn't think I was claustrophobic until I had this test run. I'm glad it's over. Now I'm just waiting for the results.

We have a leaky gutter...after the last rain, Riley decided to stand under the drip until he was drenched:



Riley had a cold last week which equaled lots of crankiness:
