Updates

It has been a while since I did a general update.



Corbin has been doing wonderfully in school. In his parent teacher conferences, we were told that his manners and consideration for others are really good. His teacher often uses him to prompt peer conversations as the role model. He has been getting a lot of "Wow" reports from school in his daily report. We are very proud of his progress. He was discharged from private speech therapy about a month ago. He starts a social speech group in a week, where he will be prompted to use language appropriately in social situations.

He just started soccer and swimming lessons at the YMCA. Jon has been taking him to his classes in the evenings and he is having a blast. He took some pics at soccer last night.







Cameron had some issues with his left eye turning out, but the eye doctor recommended for him to wear an eyepatch over his right eye to strengthen the left one. My friend Diana sent him free eyepatches from the Amblyope Registry, which was very helpful. He just got cool new ones in the mail today from her! His eyes seem to be evening out some, which is wonderful.

His speech is great. He uses words in short sentences and gets his points across beautifully.









Jamie's speech has really picked up in the past 2 or 3 months. He uses sentences, too. He is really helpful. He knows how he can be a true helper (like cleaning up toys, bringing things to others without them asking, etc.), and he enjoys being helpful. He still has that mischievious streak in him, but he balances it out with pure sweetness and thoughtfulness. He is a really cool kid.

The twins liked to sleep in one of their two daybeds every night. They were trying to give up their naps and really would only settle down if I laid down with them for a little bit. That was pretty much impossible with their old toddler beds, so we changed them into one queen bed. They just love it! We figure that we will keep this set up for a couple of years and then get them their own big beds. Here is a pic from their first night in the queen bed.



Anyway, we are all having a lot of fun around here. The kids are growing well and thriving.





Here are a couple of bonus pics from their Valentine-making session. They loved it! Corbin helped for the first 10 minutes and then the twins finished up the decorations.
