If I could bottle it up!

I wish I could of bottled up today. We had such a fun and relaxing day with the girls. The day started out chilly and cloudy. I did all my errands early in hopes that the day would clear up.

By about 1:00 the clouds had gone and the temperature was a perfect 75 degrees. The girls couldn't wait to jump in the pool. The girls swam most of the day but did get out of the water for lunch, cupcakes and dinner. After dinner Mommy served ice cream cones. The girls played on their swing set for a bit before asking if they could swim some more. Livi had Hannah Montana music blasting over the speakers while Addison showed us some of her dance moves. Finally at 7:30 PM we talked the girls in to getting out of the pool.

What a perfect day. I could of sat and watched the girls play forever.............

Livi has one more week left of school. Livi has come a long way this year. Livi's speech has really improved. We recently had Livi re-tested for speech and the ST said exactly what I thought. Livi is a bright little girl who has issues in retrieving. Often when Livi is asked a question she will answer "I don't know". It's not that she doesn't know it's that she can't get the words out. I call this conversational speech but it's really referred to as retrieving. I have noticed Livi's speech getting much better in the last month. She has been asking a lot more age appropriate questions. The other day she asked me where the water goes when it goes down the bath tub drain. I am also seeing less melt downs. : )

The next step for Livi may be a stimulant. Livi is still having trouble with focusing in school . Livi takes straterra but she may need to move to a stimulant. I want to try and get this all settled this summer while she is home with me. Livi will continue with therapy over the summer. Livi will go to OT twice a week and Speech twice a week. I also ordered Handwriting with out tears so that I can work with Livi this summer on her writing.

Addison is gearing up for preschool next year. As you know she is a preschool drop out but ready to return next year. Addison talks about preschool all the time. I think she is trying to convince herself she will be ok : ) I know who her preschool teacher will be next year and she is the best!!! Her son is good friends with my son Tyler and I have known Miss Jane for a long time. Addison is a smart little cookie. She writes well, can spell many words and knows all her sounds : ) She will do just fine if I can peel her off my leg.

Speaking of Addison......below are a few pictures from my shoot with her the other day : ) she is a good little model and puts up with a lot from me.

My canon rebel xti is still for sale if anyone is interested!!
