Hi Everyone,

Yep! Two blogs in one weekend!! I had a snow day this past Friday, and I left my grades at School. So, I decided to update the blog a little more. I have nothing else to do ;)

We were in a pretty ugly cold snap a few weeks back. When the temp finally reached over 30 degrees, I HAD to take the boys outside. We decided to visit Turtle Tuck at the Brecksville Nature Center. Nicholas and I have been going to this place since he was 2 1/2.  We always have a good time. In the Summer, we like to do the trail. I also like to take my camera and take pictures. It is so pretty. This time we went a little farther and a little more dangerous ;) We went to visit the bridge. It wasn't that dangerous, but it is right by the main road. Both boys were fine. Nicholas was OK by himself walking, and I held Jacob's hand. Nicholas doesn't usually run away from me. Jacob on the other hand - in a heartbeat. He usually runs the other way.

This weekend went pretty good. I have had two snow days. I have only put in one full week of school, since coming back from Christmas. I was happy for this past Snow day. I wanted to stay home with Nicholas, since he wasn't feeling the greatest. We also had the craziest week at School. Friday would have been so hectic. It would have been Student's day. My kids were so hyped up - all week!

Jacob is doing some pretty amazing stuff. He goes down the stairs by himself. He was going backwards and crawling down, but now he sits and slide down. He is doing really well. He went down with big brother the first time. It was time. I think I was spoiling him too much, I carry him down. I had to put a load of laundry in the washer, and Jacob didn't like that I left - so he was determined to come downstairs. He did it! He also seems to be understanding more. We have a NICU appointment on Tuesday (another day off for me) and I had to fill out his Bayley's test. He seems so behind and I wanted to give up on filling it out - because I was getting depressed. I finished it, and realized Jacob is Jacob. It will all come with time. We are already seeing the specialists and therapists. What else could they do this poor kid?!

Nicholas is being pretty good. As he told me this morning, he has his moments. He sure does!! He is feeling better, because he gave it to his Mommy!!


All right - Quiet time in the house!! Shh! (as Jacob would say). Have a wonderful week!! Mandy
