Sit and Wonder

Here it is Friday morning and Jonathon and I are the only ones up .....as usual......


And I just sit here drinking my coffee and wonder......


I wonder what this year will bring......at school......


I wonder if I did enough this summer with Jonathon........


I wonder did I not do enough this summer with Jonathon......


I wonder .......will the teachers be happy.....


I wonder......will Jonathon behave in school.......


I wonder.....will we ever get over our hump of not wanting to self feed......
(he is doing much much better than last year, but we still have some issues where he is not 100% eating on his own)


I wonder.....will Jonathon do okay with restroom breaks this year.......
(teachers are changing....we were told at end of year.....losing Miss Olley....and she was the helper teacher that helped the children with restroom breaks)


I wonder......do we still have Mrs. Rhodes.....she is Jonathon's teacher and I hope that they did not move her in the school system....


I wonder.......I wonder.......I wonder.......

will my preschooler and my freshman enjoy school this year........

will my junior be okay with his first year at "Tech"...........


One thing I do not need to wonder about......
is how proud I am of all three of my boys!!!!!
I am so so proud of all them!


Here's to a great school year boys......take your time......please don't get frustrated.....and most of all stay focused......

I love you all very very much!!!!

ENT appointment

This morning we headed out early to go see Dr. Ears.

We arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule and got lucky and we were able to go right back and see the Dr.  He asked Jonathon how he was doing and if I had any concerns.  Nope, no concerns about his ears.

Then Dr. Ears looked into Jonathon's ears and found both tubes.  Yep, they are still there.  Asked to look into his throat.  No, this is not happening.  When we go see Dr. Pediatrician in the winter he always asks that questions and of course does it AND Jonathon does not like it.  So Dr. Ears passed.

Good report.  Nice visit.  See you in 6 months.  We were finished and back outside within 20 minutes.

I did pick up a swim band though.  Jonathon is going to continue to swim all winter with his lessons and I have been having a problem with the swim plugs popping out once in awhile.  I purchased the swim band thinking this will be really cool.  Ummm when I got Jonathon home and tried to show Kenny, he would not even put it on.  I know it's because it's new and he doesn't understand that its not going to hurt him.  Hopefully when we go see Miss Maggie for his next lesson he will cooperate and wear it for me.  Fingers crossed.

I am so glad that I found Dr. Ears.  I am so glad and thankful that Jonathon is doing so well with his tubes and his speech.

Missing Family

grandma Martindale, Jonathon, me, Kenny, Gil and Andrew in the back.

Doesn't seem like it has been over 1 week since my mom came to visit from Florida.  This was Jonathon's second time meeting her and this time he remembers grandma and has asked me where she is.
Now I have to figure out how to teach him that we live in Michigan and grandma Martindale lives in Florida.....which is very far away and we just cannot go visit.....

We had a busy weekend....On Saturday we went bowling...Jonathon had lots of fun.
On Sunday we had a birthday party to go too.. and once again Jonathon had a riot.
