No nap

David had a speech evaluation today. He didn't qualify. He's one of those kiddos who they can tell he needs help and will probably need articulation help someday but they couldn't legally qualify him today. I've seen lots of students like him in my career and it is frustating for the team. But, hey, speaking in 5 word sentences (even if they are unintelligible) is not normal for his age so yeah!!

After the morning we had our carpets cleaned so we tried to take a nap at my parent's house. Hmmm, that didn't work too well. The above was David at 5:44 pm tonight on our couch. So he didn't sleep on mom and dad's bed; so I made up the pack and play and he climbed out of it (that's it for the pack and play); so there was no nap today. I put him in pajamas and in bed right at 7:00 tonight. He hasn't woken up yet (it is 8:42) saying he's hungry so maybe he's out for the night. Or maybe he'll be awake at midnight or later wanting dinner.

So big!!

An old wives tale says that when a girl is 2 you double her height to get her adult height. When a boy is 2.5 you double his height. David is now 2 years, 4 months old and last night he was 35 1/2 inches tall! We're excited that he's growing tall. He's no longer the shortest kid in his class (even of students older than him). He's also been complaining lately that his knees hurt. I think he's growing and having growing pains, poor baby. Some of his pants are getting short too so all these things point to a growing boy :)

Thank God I'm a Country Boy!

Yes folks, what you see is David helping mommy and daddy spread 25 cu ft of steer manure in the front yard. He loves to help when he thinks he can and David figured raking was something he could do so he dug right in. Normally he doesn't like to get too dirty but tonight he wasn't to keen on his bath. Granted he has a bad cold and it was way past bedtime by the time we started the bath. Plus mommy had the fingernail clippers out which sets him off every time.

Mommy's car was full of the steer manure on the way home and he didn't want to get into the "stinky car" and was most anxious to get out of the "stinky car." I guess he didn't make the connection when we had the manure on the ground that it was the source of the stink.
