Beginning Our Journey

Feb. 19, 2008

rambles.

Well today is the last day of giving Tristan chemo before he starts his delayed intensification. He will be having a week off meds to get his counts back up. YAY!

Please pray for him Thursday. He is having dental surgery. Just being put to sleep to probably crown some teeth and get them cleaned and all. But he will be put to sleep in the OR. So just say a prayer for that.

Saturday is Tristan's birthday party. So we are getting things ready for that. His birthday is on Tuesday. He will be 3! Sniff Sniff. He is growing up so much!

Yesterday was a good homeschool day. I got pictures but we are having issues with my laptop right now so I do not have them for you yet. I got these tales of glory toys from walmart on sale. They are bible character toys. I love them! It is so cute to see my kids playing with their bible toys. We read the little stories that went along with them then the kids had free play. I got out some sensory boxes. Alyssa had one and Tristan another. One was filled with field corn and indian corn. The other had dried oats in it. They were playing a long time with cups and spoons and their bible toys in it.

We also made coffee filter butterflies for art. Where you take a coffee filter and draw on it with marker. Then you drop water onto it to run the colors. Then let it dry. Tie it up with a pipe cleaner and you have a butterfly. Once again - pictures later!

Chugging along in school. I gave Alyssa a list of words. Normally she will read them to me like nothing. Well I said the T word. URGH. I said this is a test to see how much you know. Blah. She clams up. She starts her reading all shaky and it is totally annoying. Guess she needs more tests to get over her fear. I swear if I do not say it is a test she flys through it. Say it is a test and she was freaking out reading 3 letter words! I bet if I show her the same page today and do not say test she will fly through it.
