Today, for a Change

I'm always trying to catch up, always feeling behind... trying to remember what we did based on the photos that I took. Well, today we did nothing. By the time I get around to blogging about this week of summer, my summary of Wednesday will be "We just hung around and did nothing special."
But nothing is special.
Here's our day.

I washed, dried and put away diapers and wipes. No diaper laundry till Sunday! I'm enjoying this cloth diapering business! and wipes... oh, how much money I'm saving on the wipes! I have 91 cloth wipes total, and it cost me $41. It seems like a lot of money, but I'd only get 16 packages of disposable wipes for that price (and that's only when they are on sale!). 16 packages would last us about 4 months. These flannel cuties




will last a lot longer!

We redeemed a prize for out S2H Replays! We got 900 points (that's 900 minutes of exercise!) and exchanged them for 25 free photos at Snapfish. The boys chose several of their Paint Shop drawings and craft photos to print out. They have albums into which they will put the photos. Isn't that a great prize? I can just imagine the look on their faces when they receive an actual physical photo of the picture they drew on a computer. This isn't the first prize we got, though. We redeemed 680 points for a $5 Toys 'R' Us gift card and took a trip to the bay to buy a toy with our card. We found a great one for exactly $5.

We're taking it easy this week because I am sick. We didn't go anywhere special. Just to a couple of stores and that's it.

Adel had only one therapy session this week! She will have one tomorrow and one on Friday, too. Since we went to the geneticist on Monday, we canceled everything.for that day. Tuesday we usually have occupational therapy, physical therapy and special ed. PT is on vacation, special ed rescheduled for Friday, and only the OT showed up. Today was supposed to be OT again, but her car broke down. Tomorrow is special ed, all others are out! Friday is special ed as well. Adel is like a free bird!

Adi has a few new tricks.
She walks around on her knees. No holding on, just like regular walking, but it's on her knees. She knows she's too cool, because when I tell the boys to look how Adi is walking, she grins to herself, pretends to ignore us and ups the ante.

She loves to talk to us in a conversational way. She figured out what gets responses and says those things often. Like, if she says hi, we will answer. So she just says it randomly throughout the day. If I know our special ed teacher, she will be discouraging the excessive "hi"s from Adel, but I love them! Her newest response-getting phrase is, "Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?" She knows someone will answer her, "Yeah, Adi!"
And a new spontaneous word! We didn't drill this into her head, she just said it out of nowhere. "A boo."

Any guesses?


It's "a ball!" Cool, huh?
