One Crazy Day

Today was one crazy day and full of so many different emotions - I had to share.

Alex has his last Occupational Therapy session today with his current OT Jen. Jen has been working with Alex since November 2011 and has recently taken a new job that will benefit her and her family. There was something about Jen that Alex was drawn too. He would talk up a storm when he was with her like he was telling her a story. Today even as they said good-bye he was talking away and putting his hands into it! It was super cute. We are going to miss her a lot but are so happy for her and her new adventure! Here they are saying good-bye today.




















After that we took a trip to Meijer - while we were there Evan spotted a woman who resembled his Grandma Precilla (who is Filipino) and called out "Grandma" to her in the store! Luckily the lady didn't respond or hear him! It was really cute though. I explained to him that it wasn't grandma and he just stared at her as we passed by!

From there we went home and I had a guy come out to replace a part on our refrigerator but it didn't fix it - which I was afraid of. Turns out that our compressor is bad and he informed me that we need to get a new fridge because it is going to cost us a whole lot to fix it and we are better off getting a new one. Great. Just what I need. Luckily we have a back up fridge in the garage that we can use until we have money to get a new one.

After the boys nap today we ventured off to the park by our house. After playing on the playground, Evan wanted to go throw rocks in the water so he collected a bunch and he threw them in one by one while Alex and I sat on the bench nearby taking in the sunshine. I am not a fan of water; I have never been a strong swimmer and when I was younger I flipped off a raft in a friends pool and nearly drowned. So, I guess you could say I am extra cautious around water - especially when it comes to Alex and Evan. The dock he was on had a metal ramp on it that I could tell was slippery and I kept telling him to walk - not run...and of course my worst fear came true. He slipped, fell and rolled off the ramp face first into the water. I have never been so scared before. It 's not super deep but for a 3 year old - deep enough. He was scared and panicked and his head went under twice before I got to him and ripped him out of the water by his shirt. Luckily he was OK and did a good job of flapping his arms while in the water. He was more scared than anything - as was I. I was proud of myself for acting fast - but not overreacting because I didn't want to scare him more. I hope that never happens again. I am just glad my baby is safe.



Evan BEFORE he fell in. It was a beautiful backdrop

So that's my day in a nutshell. I had to share because it was just one of those days...
