It's still pretty cold up where I live, with a vicious wind, so there's not a lot of flowers or leaves or playing outside happening. But there's plenty of fun happening inside. Oliver's dinosaur obsession shines through everything he does, even at bath time. And Theodore, as it turns out, has mad puzzling skills. That Thomas puzzle, in particular, is his absolute favourite and he can finish it entirely by himself. And pretty quickly, too. I can't believe how big my baby boy is getting, or how out of control his Thomas obsession has become. *tear*
Last night's therapy session was a dream come true. All she really had to ask was "How was your week?" and I spilled like a broken dam of emotion. I think there's just so much going on inside of me, it's nice to have someone to spill it to who I know isn't judging anything I say. All she ever says back, really, is "That sounds exhausting." or "That must be really hard," or "Do you see now why you're feeling so stressed all of the time, with all of that going on?" and it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy to have someone tell me my feelings are justified and that I'm not crazy. I left with a huge feeling of release, and just so much lighter. The feeling didn't last too long, but boy was it nice while it lasted.
Matt picked up some grass seed and fertilizer from Home Depot while I was at my session, as well as some weed killer. I'm still dreaming of a big play structure for the back yard, but Matt still needs a little convincing. As for flowers on the yard this year, I've got my mind set on poppies, but we're going to have to see about whether they will grow with the crazy gusts of wind we have around here.
Anybody know anything about poppies?
