FLIPPING FABULOUS FRIDAY

Today was a super-duper, fantastic day for both Colby and me. What more can you ask for?! Lunch was delicious if I do say so myself. Roast always hits the spot and my gravy freakin' rocked. I'd like to thank my Aunt Terry for teaching me how to make gravy a few years ago. Mine was horrible before she showed me. I mean like, inedible, the dogs wouldn't eat it, either too thick, too lumpy, tasted like flour. There were many bad gravy experiments before I learned the trick to making it. Now I'm most thankful for my gravy-making skills.

Colby was kicking butt on his eye gaze today. He was intentional. He was motivated, trying really hard. He was cracking me up and making me so proud at the same time. He keeps going to this science page. He's done it every time I've worked with him on the eye gaze recently. Today he was choosing sun, planets, space shuttle, sun, Earth, stars, sun. Just kept doing it. So obviously planet/solar system toys are on his list to Santa. We're going to have to take this kid to a planetarium sometime soon. He got a constellation toy for his room for his birthday. We put it together and can't get the darn thing to work. Dangit, need to get that out and get it fixed. Leave it to me. If there's some way to jack up something on a toy or electronics, I'll find it.

They had an Advent service at the Cathedral and I thought what the heck, let's take Colby. It didn't start until 7:30 so I thought we were just asking for trouble, that he would get tired and/or bored before it was over. Nope, he did fantastic! "Aunt Kimmie" went with us, along with one of her friends. Colby's oxygen never dropped below 95. Hope that's a warm up with how the weekend will be because we're going to a Christmas play tomorrow night. Crossing my fingers, hoping he does as well then, too.

I wouldn't trade days like this for anything. Did some housework. Spent some quality time with Colby. Got to visit with great friends. And yeah, I took a 45-minute nap and make no apologies for it. I was tired, plain and simple. Not exactly my style, but just felt right at the time lol. No headache or dizziness today, though, and I'm very thankful for that.

This is a pic of one of my most prized possessions, a wreath that Colby made that back in 2005, along with the help of his preschool teacher at the time. I absolutely love this wreath. We also have ornaments on the tree that Colby has made, but there's just something about those little green and red handprints that melt my heart.

Time for bed. More later. Nite-nite.
