  DS has daily recommended "homework" tasks. Things like, "practice tying your shoes" or "count to 100 by 10's". Today's was "write the word 'my' 3 times". DS requires substantial accomodation around writing. He is just now starting to write his numbers independently- without tracing them. I told him to try writing "my" three times and he balked and asked me to write it first so he could trace it. I told him to just try first and reminded him to sound it out, and when I turned around he had written "MIY" very clearly on his paper. Proud Mama!

  DS had a hand full of rocks in the car on the way to daycare.
  
  We got to daycare and I was signing DS in. He decides he wants to stick the entire hand full of rocks in my coat pocket!
  
  I guess DS is under the impression they are beautiful rocks.

  Lily's ventilator tube was removed today. She is on high flow cannuls and is doing very well respiratory wise.

  DD's head circumference is back on her original trajectory from birth. She had fallen off her line and now she is back on it at 2%! The neurologist was very impressed with her progress.

  DS's teacher just text me this. It says, try turkey because I want to. A month ago he wouldn't (couldn't?) write his first name.

  Nate's teachers have told us that he is doing so well that they will recommend admission for him without the requirement of a one-on-one aid assigned to him!   ****HAPPY DANCE!***
  
  This is a big deal to us because the requirement of a one-on-one changes the admissions process. The city school district would have to agree to place him at the deaf school if he needed an aid. (deaf school is in a county school system) Also the city, along with the deaf school, would then be a stakeholder in the IEP process. <<<PITA
  
  Now, we can just apply for admission and send him there. Even if the school district disagrees with placement at the deaf school, Maryland is a "parent choice" state and we can tell them to suck it!

  I wanted to post yesterday when it happened but....
  
  DD tried to talk (not scream, mine, or cry) to another PEER yesterday at the library. She was on one rocking horse and this girl on the other and while rocking she heard the other girl grunt, then started singing happy birthday to daddy, "be nice school," and "mommy run." Basically her way of saying - I saw my dad on his birthday a few months ago, I have to be nice at school, and today my mom and I ran laps around the house! Huge! I think she took the grunt as her opening because she grunts too

  There's a "Thankful Tree" in the lobby of DD2's preschool and every time we drop DD2 off I've been letting DD1 add a leaf.  Yesterday she wrote "I'm thankful for my sister."  It was so sweet.  DD2 has been asserting her independence a lot more, and they've been bickering lately, so it made me really happy that DD1 wrote that about her sister without any prompting from me.
  
  And DD2 is potty trained!  Yay!  I get a couple of months off from diapers before DD3 comes along

  This made me laugh because DD2 is obsessed with rocks, sticks, acorns, and random berries.  I find them everywhere: my coat pockets, her coat pockets, my purse, her room.

  There are some awesome brags this week! 

  
  

  DD1 has been super sweet lately, busting out with spontaneous "I love yous" and being very snuggly. Love it! 

  
  

  I've been thinking back about Halloween, and sometimes I think she has better theory of mind than I give her credit for. She wanted to be an animal she made up -- a pixiedust bullfrog -- for Halloween, and so I put together a costume that she approved (a frog cape with pink clothes underneath). I tried explaining to her one time that people wouldn't know what she was and she might be asked a lot, but had no idea if it sank in. But when Halloween actually came around, she told people she was a frog -- just a frog, even though she and I still talked about her being a pixiedust bullfrog between us. 

  
  

  That's pretty subtle, and I'm impressed that she made that distinction for other people in regards to a costume that she was pretty enthused about. 

  
  

  Oh, and one other thing -- the other night DD2 ran out of water in her bedside cup, and rather than letting her call for us & have us do it, DD1 stepped in and took the cup and refilled it for her sister.
