winter boredom...

So, this will be a record, two posts in a week, but I am completely bored!!! I have cleaned my house, and have gotten the laundry caught up (it's never truly done, right?), and now I am wondering what to do. I have surfed all my favorite blogs, checked up on facebook and my email. I've read half of January's Ensign, and I am at a complete loss of what to do next. If anyone has some fun inside activities to cure my boredom, please feel free to comment and share. I would love to have a new arsenal for these days when the boredom and the gray skies get soooo overwhelming!

wow...

Wow! Have I really made it two months without a blog post?

My thoughts have been elsewhere, I guess.

Mainly on this little man.

How can someone so cute and small create so much chaos in my brain?

I have been so caught up in his lack of verbal communication, that everything else just gets pushed back a bit. Well, almost everything else. I have been able to get my running/exercising in each morning. It's the one resolution that has survived more than a few days.

I shouldn't be so worried, Colin had speech problems, and really didn't reach a normal level until at least 3 1/2 years old. But Gavin has me all perplexed, and I just wish I knew how to help him. He has less than 5 regular words, and a few others that have popped out once, and then we've never heard them again. I'm just trying to be patient, helpful, and attentive. I'm trying to just enjoy him and celebrate the little things he does to communicate. He's very good at pointing, dragging us around the house to show us what he wants, and the fact that everything else he does is at a normal level of development should keep me from worrying, but most days he is always on my mind.

Hence the reason for no blog posts. I'm going to try to do better as this is really the only journaling I do. Hopefully Mr. Gavin will make some progress in the upcoming months, and my brain can have a break while soaking in his personality. Thankfully he does give hugs and kisses remarkably well, and it makes all the worrying worthwhile!
