and from last night...

 what one might find around say...7:15 outside c's bedroom door...friends that don't make the bedtime cut. he kicks them out. then sneaks a couple of em' back in when we aren't looking. we laugh.

 a delightful evening spent over coffee with a good friend. topped off with sprinkle cupcakes.

 

 

Thursday evening my work session was cancelled. i did the happy dance times 100. then i took down Christmas cause the sun was shinning outside. hearts are up for February. i had a delightful evening over coffee with a good friend, a friend whose little girl has SPD just like C. (She's the one who recommended C's OT...her daughter has the same Occupational Therapist). We shared stories over warm drinks and smiled and laughed over the same quirks our sweet ones share. We got each other. It was the first time I could sit with someone and not feel guilty about emotions I've felt in the past because I couldn't help my sweet boy... she's felt them too, or  have to explain why C does certain things; because her daughter does the same thing. C and M, they are so much alike. It was the first time I felt like someone truly understood because she's in the same exact shoes we are in. Only...she's about a year ahead of us in treatment which means her daughter is proof that it's gonna get even better. That as good as it has gotten with help, it'll get even better. I'm so thankful for this new friendship. I feel blessed to call her a friend.

I love Fridays because they are home days. They are mornings of play, sunshine walks, and play dates with friends. Today we played, we walked, and we enjoyed the warm sunshine at the park with friends. It felt good. It felt good to talk to other mamas again, who are going through life with little ones. It helps the ache of missing family ease a bit. It reminds me that I'm not in this alone. I'm surrounded by a community of beautiful mamas and I'm blessed to call them friends. I'm feeling very thankful this week. I'm thankful the boys are finally feeling better (i can tell cause they are fighting a lot more!!! lucas likes to ham his way into caleb's business..all.the.time...don't let the sweet pictures fool ya.) It feels good to be able to get back in our routine at home. and it feels so good to have a couple days off of work (lil guy is sick so sessions cancelled) it feels wonderful to give baths again during the week, tuck little boys into bed, and sit together as a family for dinner (even though we have lunch together everyday!) It is the weekend and that is always a good thing :)

happy weekend. hope yours is filled with sunshine and happiness ;)
