Nothing New

So I have not posted anything for a long time.  I think the biggest reason is I have not had anything to take a picture of and posts with no pictures are not nearly as fun.  Really we have been up to nothing.  With the economy in the state it is, we have really been staying home most of the time and trying to make the money stretch.  Grayden has been keeping me very busy.  He never ever gets tried and while he is awake he is constantly in motion.  I am very happy because he is quite happy, but seems to always be making a mess or getting into trouble.  The other day I was in the process of doing some laundry and the doorbell rang.   Jordyn ran to answer it and I hear a mans voice say "is this yours?"  I heard her say "yes"  and he asked if he could talk to her mom or dad.  I came around the corner right at that moment and he is standing in the doorway holding Grayden.  Of course he is mine.  I am thinking why do you have him? He says, "He was in the middle of the road and I almost ran over him."  I about had a heart attack right then and there.  I thanked the nice man and had a nervous breakdown as I was closing the door.  So I took Grayden to the garage door and asked him to open it.  To my amazement he opened it right up.  So he had just quietly let himself out the garage door and decided to explore the world.  Needless to say we will be installing a lock high on the door and Grayden will be spending more time in his play pen.  What gets me the most is his is starting speech therapy next week because he doesn't say a darn word, but he can open door all on his own!!!!  I am pretty sure I have been nominated for the mother of the year award!!!!!!

"Is this yours?" What a funny thing for that guy to say! Glad he found you, though. How kids live to adulthood is beyond me. And boy do I know a lot about speech therapy with my little Eli who didn't speak a word until he was almost three. Literally, his vocabulary was maybe 15 words two months before he turned three. Good luck with that!!!

How crazy....your kids are always keeping you on your toes!!! And you know once you go to these speech therapy classes that he will be talking sentences! Especially when he can open up doors...so Carter can climb trees, Jordyn can talk to animals, and Grayden can open doors, this is why you dont have a dull moment around that place!
