Since I posted. Some quick updates:
Ian is home with me today. He has strep and I am enjoying it. I dont have meetings today. He came with me to have my blood drawn and now I am working while he watches a movie with me on the couch. It is just so perfect that I keep holding back from telling him we will have to have a play hooky day once a month.
Daron scored three goals in soccer yesterday. Supposedly all the kids were hugging and cheering him on. I wasnt there:( Ian scored a goal yesterday too. Was a good day for the end of the soccer season.
Rory is a spitfire. She is all personality. She makes us laugh every day yet she snuggles. Sometimes she gives the teachers a hard time - when she wants something or doesnt want something - that's all there is to it. She went to the dentist yesterday too- wasnt having it but once she was out of the purple chair she was all cool and cocky.
Recently Daron did something I was not happy with. When I asked why he told me "My brain made me do it."

My Brain Made Me Do It
When Daron does something we get upset about or doesnt do something we ask him to do, he tells me that it wasn't him... his brain made him do it.

According to Daron, ear wax doesnt taste so good...
Apparently it seems he learned that gum is made of bee's wax and thought he'd see what his own wax tastes like. Yuck!
Rory takes her pigs everywhere she goes. She has a small one now.
Ian's coach calls him Road Runner cause hes so speedy. He;s doing ok with school. We've been talking about the power of positive thinking:)

Language Explosion and a Purple Pig
Rory has suddenly become quite conversational. Yes, she always talked alot but Mike and I just agreed she is putting together sentances in a whole new way and we can really have a conversation. So funny.
Grandma and pappa came back from Hilton Head with a purple piggly wiggly shirt. Need I say more? She wore it all day, then that night - oh and the next day. A few temper tantrums later we got it in the laundry.
Ian is a bum- he is a great lazy guy. Between camp and school I simply love hanging out with him at home. He is so pleasant, happy to do whatever I put on the schedule.
Daron gets a bit more than bored but I love having them home. Today the boys and I went out to lunch for sushi. Daron ate a huge fish stick and fries (otherwise known as fish and chips) and Ian loved tamenagi maki and more.
Really nice to have a date with my boys.

Splinter
Rory calls Ian and Daron lots of things including
"My boys"
"Ibidibi"
"Ian and Deean"
The other day Ian had a teeny tiny splinter that had him sweating screaming and in true panic as I tweezed it out of his foot. He then hopped on one foot, wouldnt fall asleep and was convinced he couldnt walk for the next 24 hours. I love him - this made me laugh but it was very real in his mind. I promised him that I would always be honest with him and tell him if something was serious or not since he is going to panic one way or another.
Did i mention Daron is toothless? Someone said with his orange hair and scattered mouth that he looks like a jack-o-lantern.
I went to visit Ellie in the ICU this week. Very difficult to leave the family. Even tougher to be there with her - some images wont leave my mind forever I guess. But glad I went. Was somehow good to see her even struggling to mouth words to us through swollen lips.
Rory sings in the morning, sings on the toilet, sings to garbage cans. The boys find her funny.
Ian reads a ton, i just ordered Never Ending story for him. So so fortunate to be so blessed and to enjoy my children so much.

Mommy can I have gum because usually I always chew the couch when I am near it – I don’t even realize

"No, I'm just happy"
Daron was dancing around the other night in the boys room and I asked "Do you need to make doody Daron" - he looked up at me and said "No, I'm just happy."
In another Daron moment - we were talking about food - about who ate what. I must have been relaying the fact that Rory had eaten this and that and the other thing. Matter of fact D said "That's why she's so fat" - good thing she's not a teen!
Ian seems to be really ejoying camp. Daron - not sure. he told me today that earlier in the summer the boys threw crackers at him. Seems he may be being picked on. the other boys are largely YNJ boys and a rough and tumble crowd. Poor D.
Ian's eigth birthday party was really cool. Cyberrobotics- they made robots, programmed them and then fought with them. Very cool. But thank you Hashem for gentle, kind hearted boys. Wow - a room of 8 year old boys is scary. Rory spent the first 1/2 hour saying "no like the boys, they too loud!"
