This is a pretty jumbled, directionless post but the pictures are cute! Haha! So, enjoy!
The kids have been pretty tired but pretty adorable since we got home from the lake. Yesterday would’ve been our catch-up day, and it kinda was, but we also spent the biggest chunk of that day outside in the blasting heat! We did, however, find Waverly had tucked herself into Laela’s bed halfway through the morning.
That little girl knows what she needs more than any other toddler I’ve known.
We weeded the garden and they played in the pool and on the swings, trampoline, and in the pile of leftover topsoil. It was dirty and productive and HOT. So everyone is still beat today.
Rowan was SO proud of his swinging skills, he requested I come take a picture of him.
He knows how to pump, but always wants a push to get started. And I get that, because its easier, and more fun. But we’re not always immediately available to give him a push, and yesterday he got aaaaall the way up high on his swing just by pumping! Good job, Rowan!!
Side note: Waverly calls pushed “Booses.” Its adorable.
We closed off yesterday evening with a fire and a slushy drink. It was SO hot in the day, and nice and cool in the evening.
Unrelated to being outside, I watered my succulents and noticed the one Laela had given me for Mother’s Day had grown like CRAZY!
Isn’t that amazing?? I can barely fit it all into the picture! Maybe time to put the long ones into a hanging planter.
So, onto today. This morning, we made some exciting, albeit small-seeming, strides with Solomon! We’ve been seeing lately that he has some catching up to do in some of his life and play skills. We’ve made some small shifts over the last couple of weeks and have seen some really positive improvement! Today, he initiated play with Waverly, invited her to play downstairs with him, helped her take off my slippers, and led her by hand down the stairs.
A month ago, not only would Solly not have invited someone else to play, but he wouldn’t have gone downstairs without Brady or I. He wouldn’t have considered her safety the way he did, and he wouldn’t have been so soft with her the way he was. He did SO WELL!!! Claps for Solly!!
Pinterest showed me this today. I want one. That is all.
And lastly, we went on a little morning outing today, and Waverly was being a super patient little goof, posing for pictures and being a dork in general, just like her family.
She’s bananas. They all are. Its been a cute couple of days š The pictures simply cannot be missed.
