Vacation is over

Our lovely week long vacation with visiting family was amazing to say the least. We spent a few days on the coast and had an awesome time together. Mr N absolutely loved the ocean and played until we dragged him away. The kids had a great time with their cousins and all got along remarkably well, saying goodbye was sad for all. My SIL texted to tell me that her oldest was crying for E because he missed her, E said "they miss me, that means they can visit again and we'll see them tomorrow". If only they lived closer so we could see them every other day.

Spending a full week with Daddy was great for the whole family, he is amazing with Mr N and really worked with him a lot though play. Yesterday, Mr N wanted crackers and each time he wanted another one Daddy had him same "more please", adorable. I love seeing Mr N talking more and more through our hard work.

Looks like therapy will resume next Monday with a new therapist. Hopefully we can switch to morning therapy and be more beneficial for Mr N. I'm nervous to have yet another new therapist, but I guess that is the way it goes. We must move on.

The kids' grandparents sent some toys today, they made some amazing wooden block for Mr N that have different shapes in different colors on each end. He loves them, I've been working with trying to teach him to match the colors and shapes, but he isn't quite getting it yet. He has figured out how to make a block tower out of them though.

Miss E received a doodle bear, she has been gushing about it all day and talking about how much she loves it. It's a washable bear that you can draw on with markers. We've already had to wash it once today after she colored on it. It's already covered again with little drawings.

Today was Daddy's first day back to work, we were quite sad without him. We got used to him being around.

Here are a few posts of the coast, and one of the sunset at home.
