Anyways, the boys had a great Halloween! This was the first year Will was able to say- happy halloween, trick or treat, and thank you. And he was understood by all! I was so happy for him and freakin' proud of him! He has come so far in such a short amount of time.
We also, went to a pumpkin patch in mid-October. The boys loved it! CJ wanted to run everywhere and explore. While Will found his pumpkin immediately and was ready to go. James and I really enjoyed the whole experience with both of them. On the drive up to Green Bluff we decided who was pairing up with which kid. Before we could even decide Will "informed" me that I was with CJ and he was going with daddy. It was funny and cute.
Otherwise, we're all doing good. Busier then we'd like, but it will pay off in the long run and won't last forever. Will is doing amazing in his therapies! He is blowing everyone away with how well he is doing. His therapists are constantly giving me praise for his progress and telling me that I'm doing a fabulous job. Honestly, as much as I appreciate the praise and know I deserve it, I generally have a hard time accepting it. All I do is love my boys and take care of them. I don't do it because I have to, but rather because I want to and love to!
Being told I'm doing a good job is GREAT, but for me seeing my son thriving and loving life is all the praise I need. I just love watching the world unfold for Will and hearing him tell me about it! I am excited for his future and all the possibilities that are there for him.
As for Mr. Chester, he is into EVERYTHING and will climb on top of EVERYTHING if given literally (and I kid you not) a second. He is starting to "talk" more each day. So far he can say- what, hi, bye, dog, Dad, Mom, Wah (Will), Nigh Nigh, Ov ooo (love you), done, more, no, yes/yeah, and a few others (my mind is wilting). However, I'll probably end up getting him evaluated by Will's SLP after he turns two, just to make sure he'd on track or IF he might need some therapy. (If he does I really want to get him in sooner, so he has less frustration issues stemmed from lack of communication.)
Aside from that he's doing good. I personally, wish his 2 teeth would just come in already as they've been torturing us... err I mean him for the last month!
