Kid stuff

I thought I would write about some things the kids have been up to lately. Awhile back I cleaned out our closets and Will brought out the Halloween buckets. Ever since then, these two have wanted to play with these all the time and take them everywhere, especially Maggie. Here we are playing in the car just because.

no drama here...

Will has been asking to camp out lately but he always manages to ask on the days it's raining. Finally one night I told him if we had wood we could build a fire and let him camp out in the living room. I'm really not sure if our tent could even fit in the backyard (which is where he wants to camp) so this is just as well. He had all greens on his chart for the day, so I ran to the store for marshmallows & chocolate to make s'mores while the boys built the fire. Then I set up his little tent and let him sleep by the fire, it was a good night for a little man. 

Tuesday was a big day for Maggie! I mentioned before that CRS approved a gait trainer and new AFO's for Maggie. Well, the AFO's were a very quick process but the gait trainer will take a couple months to order. So Ms. Katie found one we can borrow in the meantime! She had this ready for us on Tuesday and Mr. Bill from BioTech had Maggie's braces ready as well.

She's been going pretty strong in it at home too- I'm certain she loves the freedom, but we have plenty of work to do because she prefers going backwards and in circles to going forward. It's easier and she thinks it's the funniest thing. 

Will's Words:

8/13

W: this icing is good for my body. It gives me power.

M: if you say so

W: when I poop it out I will not have power. I will still have power but not as good

-while eating an oreo-

8/15

W: I waved to my dad, he saw me 'cause he went the front way not the back way

M: cool buddy

W: and he was only going a little fast then he went awesome fast!

W: Do you even like oatmeal Maggie?

Mag: Yea

W: 'cause it seems to me like you don't. You never eat it

8/17

D: Where's the water bottle? Don't want my chicken to burn

W: I wanna see. (pause) No! Not the chicken!

-there was a small grease fire on the grill-

We'll finish the baby room by next weekend- the furniture is finally coming and should be here this week.
