Heartbroken

So...I have this friend that i've known for the last 9 years, he actually graduated with my husband. Anyway, I thought he was a good friend. Little did I know he was a blogger as well, so I go to read it and find out that I have to be invited! What in the world!

Jeremy! I take back all of my 12 hugs for the last 9 years!! :)

Just kidding! I still love you guys!

You there?

Matthew was in his bed tonight and I have been sitting here quietly on the computer blogging all of this.

Matthew starts yelling...mom, mom, momma, mom!

I just sit here quietly and continue to type. Pretty soon I hear...Mom, you there?

I can't help but chuckle. So then it starts all over again...Mom, mom, momma, mom! I said what this time and he goes...dad there?

I replied...yes, he's sitting here.

Matt does his contagious little giggle and goes...OH!

Melt My Heart

I'm very guilty for saying to Matthew...Hello, love of my life, or goodnight love of my life. It's just what I do with him! With Andrew I always say, goodnight George! (Georger is his nickname!)

Anyway, tonight Drew asks me...Mom why do you say Matthew is the love of your life.

I replied...it's just something I say.

Drew counters...why don't you say it to me?

I felt horrible. I don't love him any less, it's just been a thing with Matthew and I.

So as I feel horrible and I tell him I love him as I am putting him to bed...he says...Mom...I love you to the moon!

I know it is totally from a book, but it totally melted my heart!

I think we found our thing!

Bed!

Matthew has been sleeping in our bed a lot lately, moreso because he is superglued to my side for some unknown reason. So he automatically goes in to our bed. However, if i get up, he gets up, if i lay down, he lays down...on top of me!

Tonight jason was taking out the garbage and he pounded on Andrew's window. I heard him come back into the garage and said to the boys...here he comes you better get in your bed.

Matthew went running down the hall to then stop in the hallway and cry because he didn't know which bed to crawl into. He just stood there and cried...bed, which bed?

I had to laugh!

Sir!

Matthew doesn't talk much but lately he has a new thing as he's starting to put 2 and 3 words together.

His new thing...Yes/No Sir!

Clean Up Your Act!

Tonight, Jason was taking out the trash when I was reading him an email in it and it has a curse word in it and I read it in front of Matt. Jason says I need to clean up my act or all the swear words Matthew knows is going to come out in speech therapy!

Matthew asks..."What Dad?"

So then Jason says to Matt that he needs to clean up his act. So Matthew spent the next few minutes looking for his act to clean up! It was great!

Help Finally!

Well, we had the meeting today and set up the time...Matt gets to start speech therapy on MONDAY! I've been wanting this for so long, but then as I'm sitting there, listening to what his speech therapist has to say it is frustrating. In my head all I could think was...he doesn't seem that bad to me!

I guess I am his mom and I understand him quite well. Then they started talking about his cognitive help that he may need and that we should get it started before he gets to school rather than waiting until he gets to school. I just kind of sat there in shock and was like...what? Huh? When we did the test the things he didn't get were things that he had to speak. I just passed it off that it was his speech and we would re-evaluate it later. Now I'm thinking...is that the wrong idea? I don't want him to be behind. he's just three though and he has this imagination like wild.

But as she was saying at the meeting today...he doesn't know his colors, he doesn't know his numbers...Andrew new all this stuff at this age!!! Could it be because I snuggle Matthew where I worked with Andrew? Maybe working full-time isn't worth it!

It's just all a lot to swallow.

On the other hand...I am so excited he is finally getting speech help!

Holy Empty Leg

Matthew ate half a frozen pizza today! I took a minute to check his legs real quick for hollowness, but there wasn't anything rattling in them that i could tell. I am just impressed!

Rhyming

Andrew, Matthew and I were driving to Norfolk last week to do a little shopping. Lately has like to do this rhyming game...does this rhyme with this and what rhymes with that...

Anyway, he as I am driving I throw out...what rhymes with truck. Without hesitation he returns...F***!

I couldn't help it...i laughed. All I could respond was...although you are correct, it does rhyme, that is very inappropriate!

He knew I was proud of him though!

failure once again!

So Jeremy informs me the other day when i call him and attempt to pawn clothes off on he and Therese that I haven't been blogging enough lately! For a couple days i had my computer on and I would just come straight to it to type what the boys did funny. Please note earlier in the comment...for a couple days! It's not that the funny things haven't continued, it's just that sometimes it is hard to keep up!

So this is for you Jeremy...I'm trying!
