Monday, Monday

It seems weird that I am actually writing a post and not catching-up! Mondays are usually the day of the week that everyone dreads because the weekend fun is over and it is back to work. Well, at our house, every Monday morning we start our week with Tom's physical therapy and it is definitely a sign the worry-free weekend is over and it is time to get down to business. Let's just say how Tom does in therapy really does set the tone for the day and sometimes the entire week. We really like our therapist, Carol, and she does a excellent job with Tom; she knows how to challenge him and how to push him outside of his comfort zone without giving into to his quirky smile and long eyelashes. As a mom, it is hard to see your child unhappy and hear their cries especially when you can tell the person inflicting this emotion to stop. However, I have grown to learn - this is therapy and this is what we do because we love our child more than we could possibly describe. So every Monday, I bite my tongue, I sit, I watch and I repeate to myself - this is all worth it and he has come so far. Thankfully, today was a very good day; Tom did excellent and actually did not shed a single tear during PT - which I think is a first. I wish I could take pictures while he is working, but it is hard trying 'not to be too involved' (which leads to a distraction), but also managing to entertain Elizabeth so Tom can focus on Carol. Let's just hope this a good start to a super chilly week!!

Elizabeth and Tom enjoy bath time so much and I have been trying to get some cute picture of them in the tub and yes, we do bathe them together every night. It is not surprising they tend to enjoy the same things Check out this mullet action, I am still waiting on a curl,

before I take him to a barber

I know, his hair really is out of control

Every night we have story time in our chairs. Green Eggs and Ham remains our favorite book of all time - I wonder if it is because this is one of the first books they heard? Tom's next big goal is to walk; with this toy, he is dangerously fast!

Faster than Elizabeth!

The twins are not really talking too much, but they do understand some simple words and actions. They both understand kiss and are so cute!!

Talk about an extra load to slow things down...

Tom is so proud of himself and sometimes he surprises himself by walking

Have a great week!
