This morning I made heart shaped pancakes, which they were less than impressed with. Daddy makes them mini pancakes and they think those are way cooler. They just wanted the hearts cut up anyway.
I spent many hours making cut out sugar cookies for the boys. These are Len's favorites and the kids like them too. I don't know if it was an extra huge recipe, but for some reason it took me forever to make and decorate these. Asher "helped" some too so that took extra time.
Before Josiah got home on the bus I laid out their valentines - from Grammy, chocolates, cards and I gave Josiah his ball left from Christmas. From me, the cookies and a v-reader. Both the ball and the v-reader were excellent choices for them right now. They are "riding" the ball to and from everywhere. They kind of roll forward on it and then flop over it. They think it is so hilarious, but it's really great upper body work for Josiah.
They are fighting over the v-reader, which is like a kid Kindle. We've started the therapeutic listening with Josiah and he's not supposed to do anything with electronic sounds during the sessions. Of course Asher wanted to do the reader during a session tonight and Josiah just couldn't stay away. We turned of the music, but it still had other sounds. I hope that was okay.
When we got in from the bus the boys got to have a cookie, but then I got an email from school showing pictures of these enormous brownies they gave the kids. I asked Josiah what he had for lunch and he said popscicles and heart candy. I know there was more to it than that (please please please), but tonight he was SO wired. He was screaming constantly and he was so hyper. You could just tell in his body that he was so tense and wound. I never thought that candy high was a real thing before, but it sure was today.
For supper I cut out quesadillas into heart shapes and served supper on red plates... no dessert!!
