We went and saw Courtney's speech therapist on Tuesday. She was very encouraged that there was some improvement and we have only had 8 therapy sessions. Courtney's pediatrician, on the other hand, was not impressed. She wants Courtney to see a cleft pallet specialist at the Children's Hospital in Denver. I say "whatever". On one hand, the swallow study did look the same to me and I would really just like this whole thing to be fixed. On the other hand, I feel like I am just done with doing all this stuff. But I know we will end up going to Denver to see the specialist.
Other big news, we are going to be switching Courtney's daycare. With me being a stay at home mom, our budget is tight and her daycare she was at was expensive. Probably one of the most expensive in town. So, since she is only going 2 days a week, we decided to change. We are putting her at a Kindercare that is really close to our house, and she will now go 2 full days instead of 2 half days. Even making the change from half day to full day, we will save $50/month, plus the cost of food. We always had to bring our own food to her current daycare. Her new daycare provides meals. If we want to save more money, we can cut her down to half days again, and that will save us another $100/month.
We took Courtney to go and check out the place and she jumped right in! It will still be an adjustment for her, but it was good to see her just jump right in!
I changed my hair color this week. It is more back to my normal color with highlights now. I was always getting so many comments about how Courtney had Hubby's hair color and Kasey had mine. Since mine wasn't real, it really isn't the case. So, I actually changed it because of all the comments I was getting! But I like it, and I was ready for a change anyway.
Hubby had a dinner in Denver on Tuesday night that he had to go to. So the girls and I went down to my parents' house for dinner. I was able to get some more cleaning done while the girls got some good quality time with Nana and Papa. Nana and Courtney made cupcakes. I think Courtney really liked it, what do you think?
Last weekend Hubby dressed the girls on Saturday. Can you tell?
Tomorrow we are going to a harvest festival. I took Courtney last year, Hubby was on a trip. She had a blast last year, so I am sure she will love it again this year. Hubby gets to go, and we have a cadet at our house who is also looking forward to going with us! The weather should be agreeable so it should be a good time!
Today was MOPS as usual. This morning we went out to breakfast with our small groups. We are assigned a small group that we do things with all year long. Our group went to a little restaurant right across the street from the Church, which was a nice short walk. Which was doubly nice because it was pretty chilly out this morning. We just got to spend the morning talking and eating! It was nice! We are meeting up for coffee and dessert on Tuesday evening as well. Here is our small group:
My neighbor who has 2 girls the same age as my two girls (practically) came over a few times this past week with her girls. Last Sunday evening the weather was beautiful, so we let the girls play together in the backyard for about an hour. Then they came over again on Wednesday and played inside for about an hour. Courtney is loving having a friend so close who can just pop over to play for an hour!
Well, I just pulled some brownies out of the oven, so I am going to go and serve those up while they are still warm! Hope everyone is well!
