No breaks

If we're going to take any time off from our studies and learning activities it's going to have to be scheduled... and I haven't worked up the nerve to schedule down time... though I know I should. But.. but.. but...

There's so many new things we're integrating into our routine, one of which is Integrated Listening Systems (iLs), which our Occupational Therapist began with our oldest a couple months ago. We're increasing our sessions by doing more at home.

The regular task of washing clothes, cleaning, cooking (at which I genuinely lack talent), and keeping little folks safe remain. 

While doing dishes my toddler brought me this Mei Tai carrier I completed a few days ago, and wanted some up time. Given his baby sister was sleeping happily in her swing I was glad to oblige. After a minute he whispered over my shoulder, "Jesus." At which I realized he was identifying our statues. So I asked him to name everyone else in the Holy Family. He said, "that's Mary," and as I pointed to the tallest figure, he insisted, "that's Jesus." It's actually Joseph, so we had to work a while to convince him of this, because he wasn't buying it. Finally, he conceded that Jesus was the baby, and the tall statue was Joseph.
