And I realized that people who are subscribed to my blog (read in email, but don’t go online) don’t get the videos or link to videos when I include them, so here are the links to a few of the more recent videos of Zora (really need to post some of Zane sometime…wish he was happier dressed. lol. Need to do some editing) for those that missed it:
This should have been taken sooner, but we kept forgetting. On halloween at speech therapy, they had him make a “bat pumpkin”. The picture on the box was a big pumpkin. The pumpkin they had was the one you see here on the right, the little pumpkin. The whole time he was doing the project, he was a bit dismayed that the pieces were “too big” and although he was coping ok, you could tell he wasn’t very happy. When we got home, he took the big pumpkin that I was planning on cooking with and took all the things off the little pumpkin and put it on the big pumpkin, finally pleased with the result. The sticky on the pieces isn’t great, so the pieces keep falling off. When either kid finds a piece missing they say ”uh oh” (and Zane adds “it’s broken”) and then fix the face. (which Zane declares “all fixed”). It is quite adorable.
Zane made some playdo at speech therapy. It was well played with. Zora found it and had a good time “cooking” with it.
Then Zane got it, asked for some cookie cutters, tried to flatten the dough (pretty dense and hard to flatten), and used the cookie cutters. Then he dug out a pan, put them in the pan, and told me they were “cooking”. So cool.
That face! lol.

To say he hates spiders would be an understatement. He went to the garage tonight to find a pair of pants (for the interview) that hadn’t made it’s way to the closet and discovered a box of clothes with the missing pants among some other clothes. He also discovered a spider. A biiiig spider. A spider that had him running into the house. He needed to finish getting the clothes out, so he rolled up his pants, tucked them into his socks, and used a stick (the piece that goes in the back of the trike to help guide it) to pick up each piece of clothes and shake it.
And Finally, A Second milestone for Zane at bedtime tonight
The prof posted the test results…he got an A. He was relieved. This prof seems like he was forced to teach the class and is determined to prove that it can’t be done in two weeks. Thank goodness dh is a fast reader because he gets assigned nearly 100 pages of reading every day.
Some days, doing ‘the best we can’ may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect – on any front – and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else. — Fred Rogers
