I swear I am not living in the past. Actually, I am just finally editing, organizing and backing up my photos (in three places) so I can make some room on my hard drive and the program I use for editing the photos. Of course, it is a huge trip down memory land and a huge reminder of how quickly (yet how painfully slow at times) the time flies. We love our boy so much yet days are challenging- but you can’t tell from the pictures!

Some days it is hard to imagine that we thought he needed speech therapy because he talks non-stop. He is still hard to understand sometimes but that seems pretty normal. I won’t go so far to say he is as verbal as most kids his age but he’s getting there!

On Saturday, Sennet and I went over to Ryan and Ziya’s house for a play date. The kids spent the afternoon racing Hotwheels cars down ramps, looking at firetrucks in books, jumping off the couches & chairs, and playing on Ziya’s miniature drum kit down in the May music room.
Sennet was pretty enthralled. He immediately sat down and started tapping out some beats. Ziya thought it was pretty funny. Ryan sat down on his full size kit and he and Sennet started banging out some rhythms…
Sennet was sitting at the kitchen table drawing and coloring the other night, when suddenly he jumped up and exclaimed, “I drawed a T, I drawed a T” and he ran around the kitchen holding the paper bag on which he had drawn the letter T. By the time I got the camera up and running he had just about finished his hooping and hollering. This was the first time he had drawn an actual letter, and he did it without any coaching or commenting – just out of the blue.

This was from two years ago. Sweet boy.
