Righteous!

We had a great weekend! It started on Saturday with a trip to visit M and J. Little Bug did very well when playing with J. Normally, playing together involves lots of yelling and hitting and time outs, etc. This time, while there was the usual brotherly fighting on both sides, they did very well. It was great to see J and M.

Little Bug also premiered some new signs- please, baby, daddy, play, and apple. Apple is so cute and he can actually say it!!! YAY LITTLE BUG!!!! I know that to a lot of people, these are just 5 words and we still have miles to go. You know what? You're right, but we are going to celebrate each and every accomplishment no matter how little- because he works hard for all of them.

So our wonderful Saturday continued with an excellent trip to Goodwill- found winter coats for both DN and Little Bug. He did a really good job of listening and getting back into the cart after playing with the toys.

Finally, we decorated cookies on Saturday night. I will have to post pictures as he is rock star baker- he and I had so much fun rolling out the dough and pressing the cookies. He didn't really want to ice them, but eventually did. We gave him a bath afterwards and he must be allergic to the food coloring because he had what looked like burns on his body from the icing. They didn't seem to bother him, only the parents.

Our great weekend continued on Sunday. We had a really good time playing in the yard and going to the park. All in all a great weekend. Our only bump in the road is that he doesn't really want to each much. DN is going to make a big breakfast today to tempt him- Little Bug is a sucker for pancakes and sausage.

Today we should hopefully- *crosses fingers*- find out when therapy will officially start. Wish us luck.
