Colm has been going to occupational therapy for about a month now to help him with letter formation, letter spacing and just fine motor skills in general. He LOVES it! This picture alone should be explanation enough for why he things it’s awesome.

So thankful to have this kid back home, safe, sound and under our roof.
So thankful that he had the MOST AMAZING TIME EVER at outdoor school.
So thankful that he will still talk to me and tell me everything that happened while he was away.
So thankful I packed sunscreen for him.
So thankful for our wonderful school community that made this experience happen for him and his classmates.
So thankful that he had the maturity to sleep away from home for two nights.
So thankful I didn’t cry when I went to pick him up because I almost did I was so happy to see him.
Colm has been talking about going to his favorite Japanese steakhouse for months! He knew that was where he wanted to go for his birthday, the only hiccup was that Liam was going to be at Outdoor School over Colm’s birthday and Colm was really struggling with his brother gone. Problem solved. Our usual family birthday dinner turned into a family birthday dinner minus Liam, plus Colm’s best friend. It was a great night out with our bellies full of Japanese food and a trip to Dairy Queen for some frozen yumminess afterwards.
Post-apocolyptic…that’s about all I’ve gotten from it so far.
Colm had a great time with a whole tableful of his friends jumping on trampolines, eating pizza and celebrating with some birthday cake. (And yes, one kid did puke, jumping…cake…pizza…jumping…not exactly the best idea.)
Sean got a new car tonight! His Prius, which he bought when Liam was in kindergarten, was on its last leg (three fender benders and 50,000 miles later) so we got this Subaru.
Colm and his bestie, Charlie. Go Cubs!
I have been wanting to read this book for awhile and it just happened to be at the library under the “New Releases” section when we were there a couple of weeks ago. I snapped it up and am just about done with it. It’s a good one, too. I’ll read one chapter and tell myself that I am going to go to bed after just one chapter, but I can’t and I have to read another…and then another.
Colm’s feet keep growing and growing and growing…
