Merry! Merry!

You know, I just wrote this whole blog out and it deleted. Darn!

We are getting ready for the holidays! I am baking and getting excited to host Christmas for the first time. I will have both sets of grandparents here and it will be fun. The kids will have a blast! It is fun because Anna kind of gets it this year. She can recognize Santa and it is so cute! I also love that Scott is in the Pageant and gets the whole story of Jesus etc. It is a really fun time right now. I can not wait to watch their excitement on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. It is a magical time, I think.

I pretty much wrote about how much I love that Scott and Anna play together now. It makes things so much more fun having her be at the toddler-like age. They chase each other and play and it is so nice! I love it. I love that Anna has taught Scott about pretend play. At one point Scott was at her age bracket for pretent play but he has slowly surpassed her..thank goodness! I was shocked when our speeach therapist said that Scott and Anna were at the same level. It was kind of sad for me to hear. I hated that Scott was not like his friends in that he could enjoy the fun things that kids do. BUT, the things that a lot of kids do are not fun for Scott. I asked Dave once if it made him sad that Scott did not have fun doing things that are suppose to be fun. Dave said "Katy, you have to understand..Scott does not feel like he is missing anything because he does not see them as fun." It is hard sometimes for me to understand that. I always thought I would have a kid that would run around the soccer field with me and play lacrosse or something and he just does not enjoy that. It is just one of those things..you can't always expect your kids to be what you thought they would be..right? He is a neat kid, it just takes some adjusting some times. Now Anna will be SPRINTING around the field hockey field! I can just feel it. She is so strong I can not wait to see where her interests go. It will be fun to watch!
