What happened to the beautiful weather?! It seems to be long gone now. Had to get Colby on the bus in the rain yesterday, which is one of my very least favorite things to do, like, ever. Luckily it wasn't pouring, not too bad. So far Colby is having a great week at school. He's using his eye gaze like crazy. Last night we set it up for him and he said, "I color some ugly things." OMG I was cracking up. Where does he come up with this stuff?! Today in speech therapy he said, "favorite photo album." Again, WTH, don't ask me. His speech therapist said well Colby we don't have a photo album for you, and Colby's response to her was "we should." So yep, you guessed it, I'll be out the next couple of days finding him a small photo album and filling it with some pics for Colby. He also said, "I think about books." Guess I know what to tell Santa to get Colby for Christmas. Then he said, "awesome Colby." Ha, my kid have a self-esteem problem, not hardly. Tomorrow he has make up school pictures. The pics they took of him the first time absolutely sucked. The glare on his glasses was so bad you couldn't even see his eyes. And yes, I wrote a note to the school and let them know about it. Hoping tomorrow's photo shoot goes better.
Listen to my words, all the mail is caught up around here! How many times have you ever heard me say that, uhhhh, never! I don't care that we'll get more mail tomorrow. TODAY it's caught up, organized, filed, dealt with, etc. Makes me warm and fuzzy all over. I also started doing some stuff in Colby's room in preparation for the shelving system to be installed this weekend. Started out small, got his bookcase and toy box cleaned out. So I guess we'll just move Colby into my room for a couple of days. Slumber party!
Many people I know are doing this 30 days of thankful thing where you name each day something you're thankful for. Guess I'm about 13 days behind, but you know something I'm thankful for? Colby's nurses. Bet you thought you'd never hear me say that, huh? When Colby came home from his trach surgery back in June, I absolutely hated the idea of having a nurse up in here all the time. But I have to admit, they're great. I think we're very lucky in that we have experienced, dependable, easy-to-get-along-with nurses. Colby has 4 nurses that take care of him and I like all of them. Can you believe it? Also really liking the nursing schedule. It's a nice combination of having some time for just Colby and me, and getting extra help when needed.
Guess that's about all that's going on around here. The poor hermit crab (no, we never named it) hadn't eaten in two days. When I cleaned house last time, I moved the crab supplies. Sunday I cleaned out his cage and couldn't find the supplies anywhere. Found them tonight finally, and he's still kicking, so I think he/she survived. (How do you tell if a hermit crab is male or female, I must ask?) Off to bed, more at a later time and date. Mama out.
