Today, I had Case spraying letters off for me after I sanded them. 8 letters and then some blocks. All he had to do was carry them to the hose, spray them off and return to the patio. I came inside to find him to do one last set of blocks and he said, "Uhhhh, I feel like I'm in the DR having to do such hard work."
Funny thing is, he didn't do any hard work in the DR (his daddy did, but he didn't).

BUG Awards
This has been a big week in our house. Siahna is on day 3 of potty training and is doing excellent. I was beginning to think she would never be potty trained, but like she does, she's always full of surprises.
The other exciting thing that happened this week was that Case received the BUG Award at school. I got an email from his teacher saying he was getting this award and we were welcome to come. I had no idea what BUG stood for, but figured it was something good. Bringing Up Grades I found out this morning. He received the award for having good grades, trying hard, and always trying to improve. We're so proud and his little friends were all high-fiving him when he sat down. It was pretty cute.

Beauty From Ashes
This past week has been a rough one. A dear friend of Jeff's lost her husband. He was 35. She is now a single mom to a 6 year old and a 9 month old. His death was a complete shock to us and, as most people would, I put myself in her shoes and wondered how I would ever go on without Jeff by my side. The grief I have felt this week has been overwhelming and she and her boys are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Despite all the grief and heartache, I have seen beauty through the ashes. I had a clear view of our friend during the funeral and I was overwhelmed with the beauty of God because of her. Her face was basking in the glory of God during her husbands funeral. I saw a woman honoring The Lord in the words she spoke about her husband and the love she has for him. And despite her pain, she comforted ME in my struggles with Siahna's delays. Although she is walking through a very dark time in her life, she is allowing God's light to continue to shine through her in the way she is handling this tragedy.
I pray this prayer over her from Isaiah 61:3
To all who mourn in Israel he will give: beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory.

School Life
Life is definitely a little different now that both kids are in school. Siahna loves preschool and has her OT wrapped around her little finger. He calls her "angel"! On the other hand, Siahna's speech therapist said to me today, "she's a little bit naughty isn't she?" Bingo! I hope this isn't a sign of Siahna's future - boys wrapped around her finger and not playing nice with the girls!
On the other hand, at Back To School Night for Case tonight, his teacher said: "He's a super good kid. A couple of times I've had to ask him and his friend Le'Marcus to settle down but I was actually glad to see Case act up a little because I was beginning to think he was a perfect child."
I will be volunteering in Case's class once a week starting next week. I told his teacher I'd be happy to do whatever - stuff papers in folders, cut out stuff for her, etc. Her reply, "Oh, you won't be doing any clerical work. You're a teacher. You can help kids learn to write their name and write their numbers and pull out small groups to the hall and teach." So, I guess this teacher (me) is gonna learn how to teach KG!
