Football, Glasses and a Few Random Thoughts...

So my title says it all. I'm starting with football and the REDSKINS! We are on fire and I'm relishing in our victories! I can't help but sing "Hail to the Redskins" every Sunday. For those that don't follow the Redskins we just had 2 HUGE victories against the Eagles and more importantly our rivals the Cowboys! We were underdogs in both match ups which made the victories even sweeter! The hell the the Super Bowl Redskins fans are just as happy beating Dallas, regardless of losses now, we BEAT THE COWBOYS! And we are tied with the Cowboys in the standings, both 4-1! Can't get more exciting than that!

Julianna got her new pair of glasses on Friday. I can honestly say up until today she has done a really good job of wearing them! Right now her glasses are "hiding" and we've yet to find them. Tomorrow morning will be an all out search! She looks adorable in them! I can't tell you the compliments she has received. A lady at the Joe's Crab Shack sitting at the table next to us compared her to Aaden from "John and Kate Plus 8" at least 3 times, lol. We've been telling her that princesses wear glasses and lately she is really into princesses! And it's been working, I can say she's worn them at least 80% of the time, even falling asleep in them a couple times! Today we had a relapse as she has hidden them but I know it's alot for a 2 year old to adjust to so I can't be to mad at her. I KNOW she's sees better in them! As soon as she put them on she walked outside and said "Look at all the cars"! My poor baby wasn't seeing Cars? Her vision is 20-1000, which is HORRIBLE! So she needs to get used to her glasses and wear them! It's vital!
Okay...A few random thoughts...The house is completely decorated for Halloween! I must say I've gone a little overboard! But it's my kid's favorite holiday. Yes, they love Christmas but no where near as much as they love Halloween! Joey started his "Play Therapist" last week. The first visit went good. Our goal with that is to get him to "come out of his shell". It's a very relaxed environment and he seems to like it so far. He is doing MUCH BETTER at the Little Gym! I am so thankful for that. As a mother it breaks my heart to see him struggle. It is such a relief to see him interacting with the other kids. Yes, it may be harder for him but I know now that he CAN DO IT! Allie is on the move! She is not crawling yet but is a wiggle worm! She won't sit still! She gets down into the crawl position from sitting so I know it's coming soon! She is starting to develop some attachment disorder. All kids go through it but for those that don't know Julianna had it BAD! She had the worst case her therapist had ever seen, so this stage with Allie is worrying me. She cries when I walk out the room and wants me to hold her constantly. I know it's a "stage" I just hope it doesn't get to the point it did with Julianna, I'm keeping my finger's crossed. I of course don't ignore her, I do give into her. I have a hard time with what is "caring" for her and what is spoiling. I don't believe you can spoil a baby...maybe that's where I run into problems?

But seriusly how do you say no to her?
