totally awesome.

omg.

it is day #3 of new nap schedule. and it is still working! today, i was not so sure it would work out because they woke up a little later than usual; but when i asked son #1 if he wanted to nap before school, he said, "umm, yea!" so awesome.  son #1 seems so much happier throughout the day now that he is napping again.  he used to turn into a wild monster around 4:30pm everyday without the nap. makes sense! i should have tried it earlier. but it seems that if it is his choice, he will do it... now i know.  and another super cute thing that son #1 just started doing lately is that he "reads" his bedtime stories to himself and "reads" one of them to son #2. he has got these things memorized and pretty much makes up some of his own words for the pictures on the pages. the family favorite, The Going To Bed Book, by Sandra Boynton, is the one that son #1 reads to son #2. it is pretty great. he stands up, shows him the pages and everything!

onto other things... we are still waiting on one of the evaluations for son #2 to send with all the disability eligibility paperwork. when that is here, it will all be ready to send out and then the real waiting begins! i am still trying to implement some of the ABA therapy exercises that my friend gave me-- i am just not sure if i am doing them right.  we are going to get together soon so that we can have a mock therapy session... i think the first time she came in and showed me stuff, it was a tad overwhelming... but if we did it again i think it would absorb better :)
