All I want for Christmas

yes she wears this outfit EVERYDAY

What I'm thankful for...

I wish that I could feel this way everyday...I wrote this after spending the entire day with my kids, which is not unusual, but I spent it just taking it all in, enjoying them !

If it all were different

If it all were different would I enjoy the rain?
Would it sound so gentle,
or just pass down the pane?
If it all were different would I notice the breeze,
that just passed right by me
and now dances with leaves?
If it all were different would I hear a bird sing?
Would I walk right past
and not notice a thing?
If it all were different would your words pass by my ears?
When you sing me a song
would it bring me to tears?
If it all were different I'd still love you no doubt.
But thank you for showing me
what life's really about !

Gage has been playing cop again !!

Babble game

this is a good game in general to continue no matter what tactic you use, this helps us know if they are hearing properly

Gage listening

this is a really age appropriate activity...sorry I had to fight Brook off to get it! this is just another way to question what they know.

Report Cards

Wow, all A's ! Even conduct ! He got a 93 in conduct after receiving a 71 last time. He got a 100 in spelling and a 97 in math. Nice work Gage !! Brook showed improvement as well, though she don't actually get a report card like he does.
