and can i include myself in this post? oh good...cause these last 3 weeks have been some of the hardest and also some of the awesomest weeks i can recall. our small business has been struggling with cash flow since the beginning and just this week something happened to change that and i cant tell you how amazing it all is. there has been a serendipitous series of events around here and although i have been putting in long and trying hours, i feel really good at the end of the day - good about our future and good about my change in attitude and thankful for a business that has supported us for 10 years and lasted through 2 recessions...
Bryson is liking school and learning to read - he is starting to apply the sounds of words and connect that to writing and reading...he tried to spell "bird" on his own the other day and out came "brt" - super cute...i saved it (which is big, cause i dont save much). he is also loving soccer and has a surprising renewed interest in golf...in fact he may just be in his first tournament this sunday! what? crazy! he had picture day today at school and chose his own outfit...a red polo with a clip n tie...love this kid! he also told me he wanted to be david bowie from the labyrinth for halloween and i might have shrieked with joy! he loves that movie almost as much as me and we always say to each other "you remind me of the babe" and the other responds appropriately. cute...my brother and i have been doing it to each other for years and now bryson is joining in on the bowie love.
bodie...he is the little heart of the family...this kid...he is so sweet, but so very 2! i can not tell for the life of me if he just doesnt get some things or he is just that stubborn. honest to paul....i can't figure him out. bryson was easy, but bodie...bodie is different. he loves riding his scooter and watching mikey mouse and playing the ipad while pooping and hanging out with me (cause i am the coolest) and he loves his school...he also is starting to come out of his shell just the slightest bit...we still struggle with saying hi instead of giving someone a mad dog stare...but he is improving! lately his catch phrase is "i'm just feeling better" in a whiney way, which makes us think its either him saying he isnt feeling good, or it is just a general way to try to distract us from what we just told him to do and has nothing to do with anything...like i said...he is a tough nut to crack...
now this one...this guy may be the smallest...but he is a big presence - trust me...this kid is into everything! he is the biggest destroyer i have ever seen. i am so lucky he goes to bed at 6 because by then i am just done! so done...so exhausted from chasing his tornado trail. he is the sweetest most adorable...most melt every strangers heart kinda kid, but man can he make a mess! love this crazy kid...he is going to be a hoot i can already tell!
i have been cooped up in the office so much this week i have actually had time to kinda miss these boogers! i think i have the bulk of the work i needed to get done, done so we are going to try to make use of our disneyland pass or do something silly with them to make up for being stressed out and working all the time...i think disneyland equals like a week in the office...
