February

It's hard to believe we're already half way through February.  Time just flies.  The boys are doing pretty good.  I'm glad it's warmed up this past week so they could get some outside time.  It's hard being stuck in the house all the time.  We're currently trying to clean up our unfinished basement so we can lay some carpet down and set up the boys basketball hoop they got for Christmas.  I intend to bring all their big farm toys down there so they aren't overtaking my living room anymore :-)

Caleb has made huge success in potty training and I am guessing he'll be trained before long.  A few weeks ago I put him in underwear and he had no accidents over an entire weekend.  I sent him to daycare in his underwear and he had one poop accident.  Because of that we were instructed he had to be in pull ups.  So we've had a little regression because as long as he has pull ups on he'll go in them verses the potty.  I'm not a fan of pull ups at all as they're basically diapers.  Hopefully in time he'll just learn even with the pull ups on.

Isaac doesn't seem too interested in potty training right now but we have other issues at hand.  Isaac's Sensory Processing Disorder has been kicked into high gear with regard to clothing.  The last 3 weeks or so he's really been putting up a fight when it comes to clothing.  He hates just about everything.  He's literally thrown outrageous throw himself on the floor screaming fits over shoes, socks, boots, diaper, pull up, sweat pants, swishy pants, athletic pants, jeans, long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, zip up coats, you name it!  It came on all of a sudden.  He's always had "some" clothing issues but not to this extent so it's a really trying time right now.  We are currently on the waiting list to see a developmental/behavioral pediatrician and we are finally getting Isaac evaluated to see if he has a true SPD diagnosis.  I started reading a book about SPD and I find it quite amazing that 1 out of 20 children have this.  It's becoming more and more common these days so I really hope we find some ways of handling his sensory issues.

Because it's Valentine's Day here's a few pictures of the boys.  I am such a blessed Mommy and wife.  I received a 2 night motel stay and concert to Kenny Chesney in March.  Each of the Grandma's are taking one of the boys for those 2 nights.  I'm very excited to say the least!
